Abstract
High field, 13C nmr has been utilized for the analysis of new conformational equilibria in each of the title crown ethers at low temperature. Evidence indicates that these equilibria arise from restricted rotation in the macrocyclic portions of these molecules. The conformational free energy differences between the isomers are small (0.1–0.3 kcal/mol) while barriers to their interconversion are of the order of 8.5–9.0 kcal/mol. Comparisons are made with the degenerate equilibria involving inversion of the cyclohexane rings.
