Abstract
Abstract The 2- and 3-alkylketone effects for alkylcyclohexanones other than 2-methylcyclohexanone are shown to be closely related in their origins. An analysis of the conformational equilibria in 2-ethyl- and 2-isopropyl-cyclohexanone provides estimates of the interactions between the methyl and carbonyl groups in the skew conformations of butyraldehyde. The numerical values of these interactions are used in an interpretation of conformational equilibria in other cyclic ketones and in aliphatic aldehydes.
