1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of acetals and thioacetals of 4-piperidones
Abstract
Details of the 1H n.m.r. spectra of some acetals and thioacetals of 4-piperidones are recorded. Protons of the two identical alkoxy- or alkylthio-groups at C-4 of the piperidine ring to two distinct signals and these are interpreted in terms of conformational analysis. Thioacetals of 3-methyl-4-piperidones, in contrast to the acetals, are easily prepared.
