Conformations of saturated six-membered ring phosphorus heterocycles. Non-chair conformation for cis-2,5-di-t-butyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-one
Abstract
Results of 1H n.m.r. analyses indicate that the free-energy difference between certain chair and boat conformations of the cis-2,5-di-t-butyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-one ring system is unusually low, perhaps 1 kcal/mol or less.
