Since their introduction by E. L. Eliel nearly four decades ago, derivatives of 1,3-dioxane have proved useful in conformational analysis. Examples are discussed, where 5-polar substituents permit the evaluation of fundamental phenomena such as attractive and repulsive gauche effects, electrostatic interactions, and stereoelectronic effects. By the same token, 2-substituted 1,3-dioxanes, 1,3-dithianes, and 1,3-oxathianes are useful frameworks for the study of the anomeric effect and the associated structural and spectroscopic manifestations, such as the so-called Perlin effects. In view of the varied and essential involvement of metal ions and inorganic salts in biological processes, 5-substituted 1,3-dioxanes are presently being examined in the presence of Li+, Na+, K+, Ag+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+, and other cations, with the aim to increase the understanding of biomolecular properties in vivo.

He(I) photoelectron (pe) spectroscopy is applied to determine the preferred gas phase conformations of a limited number of flexible allylic ethers and alcohols. Based on earlier observations that the π-ionization energy is increased more when the allylic C—O bond is coplanar (with the π-system) than when it is perpendicular, the pe spectrum of cis and trans-4-tert-butyl-2-cyclohexanol and their corresponding ethers, and 5α-hydroxy(and methoxy)-10α-Δ3-octalin have been determined. The results indicate that when a coplanar arrangement of the allylic C—O bond can be attained, it is preferred, leading to a favored conformation of the allylic alcohol or ether.
