Conformational studies by dynamic NMR. 95. Rotation around the adamantyl-alkyl bond. Remote substituent effect on conformational equilibrium.
Restricted rotation has been observed by NMR spectroscopy at very low temperature in isopropyladamantane, 1-tert-butyl-3-isopropyladamantane, and 1,3-diisopropyladamantane. The barriers for the corresponding dynamic processes were also determined. In the case of the disubstituted adamantane derivatives, two and four conformers, respectively, were observed and they were assigned on the basis of the symmetry properties. The relative populations deviate from the statistical distribution.
