In an analogous manner, the expected J values for the basic conformations around P angles for some equatorially and axially linked C-glycosyl compounds are given in Table n. In this case, additional eclipsed orientations may appear, especially when the glycosylation position is flanked by two equatorially oriented hydroxyl groups.

The structures and relative energies for the basic conformations of silacyclohexane 173 were calculated using HF, MP2, RI-DFT and MM3 methods (00ZAAC853). All predict the chair form to be the dominant conformation (boat and twist forms, also found, are less stable) the transition state for the chair-to-chair interconversion consists of a sofa-like half-chair conformation (cf. Scheme 57). The steric energy of the transition state is 6.57 kcal/mol higher than that of the chair conformation. 

It seems appropriate at the outset to review some basic features of calixarenes and resorcarenes. Four basic conformations have been discussed for calix[4]arenes... 

Figure 1. The four basic conformations of a calixf4]arene.

While methoxy groups, like hydroxy groups, can pass the annulus, O-alkyl/acyl residues such as propyl (or larger residues) cannot. Even a single residue of this size prevents the complete ring inversion, while four residues fix the calix[4]arene molecule in one of the four basic conformations. 

The results of our analysis of the sherds from Spain which were supplied to us by F. Lister reveal that the composition of these sherds basically conforms to the same compositional pattern which characterizes the sherds from the five sites in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. The data for the sherds from Jerez are given in Table III, and the mean compositions are given in Table II with the mean compositions for the sherds from sites in the New World. The agreement between the sherds found in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela and those found in Spain is excellent for 14 or 15 elements, the only exception being the component barium oxide. However, we frequently have observed erratic barium concentrations in related groups of sherds, and we tend to ascribe... 

NMR analyses served to reveal that the basic conformational features of 8.5b are retained. However, here, the two limiting enantiomeric forms of 8.5b interconvert readily, albeit slowly on the NMR time scale at room temperature.

Given a chemistry which is linear, it is expected that the photometric output would exhibit basic conformance to the Beer-Bouguer Law over the absorbance range 0-2. 

The simple at-a-glance predictive correlation that emerges from Tables 3 and 4 is as follows with the peptide backbone drawn in the plane of paper, substituents in the same half space (i.e., ///reconfiguration) are all matched to the same helical handedness. This correlation can be rationalized by analyzing the basic conformers in /3-amino acids.183184 263 264 Such an analysis reveals a strongly preferred backbone torsion around the Ca—Cp bond, driven in part by the tendency to minimize repulsive vicinal interactions (Figure 36)249 and possibly by internal electrostatic considerations.184 The sc conformation, favored for monosubstituted /32- or /33-residues (especially if the substituents are bulky)263... 

Characteristic of calix[n]arenes and their derivatives is the conformational diversity, which may cause difficulties in the synthesis of narrow rim derivatives (see Section IV), but also offers many additional chances to fine-tune the desired properties. Four basic conformations may be distinguished for a calix[4]arene [differing by the relative orientation of the (endo) OH and the p-positions] for which Gutsche introduced the names cone , partial cone , 1,2-alternate and 1,3-alternate (Figure 3). 

As already mentioned, the conformational interconversion of calix[4]arenes requires the oxygen function at the narrow rim to pass the annulus and consequently can be hindered by 0-alkyl or O-acyl groups of sufficient size. Thus, the molecule can be fixed in one of the four basic conformations by exhaustive O-alkylation or O-acylation if the residues... 

The existence of stable conformational isomers (atropisomers) may be a complication, since mixtures can be formed during a derivatization but it offers (in principle) additional synthetic possibilities which have already been widely used in the calix[4]arene series, where the four basic conformers are easily distinguished by NMR (Table 3). 

Force field calculations have been applied to caryophyllene and four basic conformed (286)—(289) have been identified of which (286) and (288) contribute 75 % and... 

The basic conformational motif of these molecules appears to be the two-fold helix, maintained by intra-chain 05 H03, familiar from cellulose. Electron diffraction studies on single crystals of mannan I revealed an antiparallel arrangement in an orthorhombic unit cell containing four equivalent mannoses. The polymer chain adopted a two-fold helix with (jo=-81°, F = -161° jy 79°) and 161°. In addition to the intra-chain 05 H03 hydrogen... 

The three basic conformational isomers of chloramphenicol are shown in Figure 2. In solution, the rotamers (a), (b), and (c) are expected to be in equihbrium and the concentration of any one of the three species at any given time is dependent on the nature of the solvent and temperature. Chloramphenicol has a specific rotation, [a], of -Hl8.5° in ethanol and —30° in dimethyl formamide (22).
