Structure of cyclohepta-1,3-diene from nuclear magnetic resonance analysis
Abstract
1 H N.m.r. coupling constants obtained from spectral analysis of cyclohepta-1,3-diene (1) at 300 MHz are not in accord with an earlier propose Cs structure in which all but one of the carbon atoms are coplanar; instead these data indicated a distroted tub conformation of C2 symmetry.
