Abstract
The temperature dependences of the 1H n.m.r. spectra of 8H,15H-dinaphtho[1,8-bc : 1′,8′-gh][1,5]dioxecin (4) and of heterocyclic analogues (2a, b, e, and f) of 7,8,13,14-tetrahydrobenzo[6,7]cyclonona[1,2,3,-de]naphthalene have been interpreted in terms of ring inversion between enantiomeric twist-boat conformations. The temperature dependences of the 1H n.m.r. spectra of the dithionins (2c and d) have been interpreted in terms of interconversions between chair and twist-boat conformations. A comparison of activation parameters shows that when peri-annelated naphthalene rings replace ortho-annelated benzene rings in ‘6,8,6’ systems (1), chair-like conformations are destablised relative to boat-like conformations and the energy barriers to ring inversions involving pseudorotational processes are considerably higher.
