ALICYCLIC KETYLS: I. ANGULAR DEPENDENCE OF HYPERFINE COUPLING AND CONFORMATIONAL MOBILITY OF CYCLOHEXANONE KETYLS
Keyword(s):
The electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) spectra of ketyls derived from cyclopentanone and 4-tert-butyl, 4-methyl, 3-methyl, and unsubstituted cyclohexanone have been recorded in dimethoxymethane at room temperature. The proton hyperfine splittings (aH) observed with rigid ketyls are consistent with a dihedral angular (θ) dependence of hyperfine coupling of the form, aH = 4.8 + 9.6 cos2 θ. Conformational averaging of the hyperfine coupling is observed with 4-methyl, 3-methyl, and unsubstituted cyclohexanone ketyls. The conformer populations calculated from the e.p.r. spectra are in accordance with A values for the methyl group derived from non-radical cyclohexane compounds.
