Conformational Free Energy

By the low temperature nuclear magnetic resonance integration method the standard free energy difference between the diequatorial and the diaxial forms of 1-H,4-H-trans-1,4-di(trifluoroacetoxy)-cyclohexane-d8 was found to be 77 ± 5 cal/mole. The conformational free energy (−ΔG0) of the trifluoroacetoxy group in the monosubstituted cyclohexane was 485 ± 4 cal/mole at the same temperature. The non-additivity of the −ΔG0 values is discussed in terms of transannular electrostatic interaction.

Conformational Free Energy

From J and δ values determined by the nmr study of alcohols obtained by addition of CH3Li and LiAlH4 to the exocyclic carbonyl of cis and trans 3-alkyl 4-carbomethoxy (or acetyl) cyclohexenes (alkyl = H, CH3, C(CH3)3), we have deduced the conformational free energy values (ΔG0X) of the CH(CH3)OH and C(CH3)2OH substituents (0.62 and 2.08 kcal mol−1 respectively) as well as the values for some related conformational equilibria. For transtert-butyl derivatives the stability of the diaxial conformer agrees with a reaction path involving high energy conformers.
