Conformations of vicinal-triketones. A theoretical and 17O NMR approach

Abstract

The conformations of a representative group of vicinal triketones have been studied by 17O NMR spectroscopy and, for some of them, DFT calculations have been performed in order to rationalize the results and gain an insight into their geometry; 17O NMR chemical shifts have also been computed by the GIAO method. A dependence of chemical shifts on intercarbonyl dihedral angles, like that observed for α-dicarbonyl systems, has been observed. A constraint to changing conformation, which overrides steric destabilization, has also been observed.
