Abstract
SummaryMono- and trispiro-1,3-dioxanes with mobile, fixed and “semimobile” structures were obtained by the condensation reaction of pentaerythritol with aldehydes and symmetrical or unsymmetrical ketones. The conformational analysis of the obtained compounds was undertaken by means of1H-NMR spectroscopy. The spiro-1,3-dioxanes obtained with aldehydes or nonsymmetrical ketones represent fixed (“anancomeric”) structures. Ketalisation with 4-t-butyl-cyclohexanone leads to a “semimobile” structure of a trispiro-1,3-dioxane in which the two marginal cyclohexanic rings are fixed, while the two middle ones are mobile, continuously flipping at room temperature. The solvent effect on the NMR spectra is also discussed. Utilisation of benzene-d6 makes it possible to interpret some of the complex spectra with superposed signals on the basis of the aromatic solvent induced shift (ASIS).
