Abstract

Large-ring sigmatropic migrations do not necessarily follow the ‘least motion principle’ and can only be rationalized by a combination of experimental and computational techniques.

The lineshapes were calculated utilizing a self-written computer program designed for direct iterative search of the activation parameters from the whole set of experimental spectra as proposed by R. Laatikainen, J. Magn. Res., 1985, 64, 375 Search PubMed; Iterations were made for two independent NMR operating frequencies (50 and 100 MHz for 13C, Fig. 2; temperature calibration was carried out using a standard calibration sample (4% MeOH in [2H4]MeOH), providing an approximate accuracy of ±1 K. Temperature coefficients of the chemical shifts were determined by spatial iteration cycles where they were regarded as variable parameters. Linear coefficients were found to be approximately 1 Hz K–1 for C-1–4 and 2 Hz K–1 for C-5; second order coefficients were less than 0.001 Hz K–2 CAS.
