Conformational analysis of cyclohexane derivatives. The A value of a benzyl group
Abstract
At –97·6° the chair–chair equilibrium constant in cis-1-benzyl-4-methylcyclohexane is 1·35, the conformation with an equatorial benzyl group being more stable by 0·11 kcal mol–1. The A value of the benzyl group is 1·81 kcal mol–1.
