title: Effect of diazocine bridgehead modification on the folding of the Wilcox molecular torsion balance: a view from a different angle.
abstract: Replacing the methano (NCH(2)N) bridgehead with an ethano (NCH(2)CH(2)N) bridgehead affects the conformational equilibrium of the Wilcox molecular torsion balance. With a NCH(2)CH(2)N bridgehead, the phenyl and the cyclohexyl esters prefer the out conformation, whereas with the NCH(2)N bridgehead, they were found to prefer the folded conformation.
