Abstract
The conformational behaviour of 10‐X‐substituted 1,4‐dioxa‐and 1,4,6‐trioxaspiro[4.5]decanes 1 – 4 has been studied by 13C‐, 19F‐ and 1H‐NMR spectroscopy. Two X‐ray analyses (of 2a,e) are presented, and their implications to cleavage reactions of chiral acetals are discussed. Participation of twist boat forms in the conformeric equilibrium of at least 1c has been made plausible by observing 13C,19F‐NMR coupling constants. The ratios of axial to equatorial conformer in 1 – 4 have been calculated by molecular mechanics.
