Npm. Huck et al., SYNTHESIS, CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE AND DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF NEW DIMETHYLDIOXANEDIONE BASED INHERENTLY DISSYMMETRIC OVERCROWDED ALKENES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(51), 1995, pp. 9381-9384
Two representatives of new chiral sterically overcrowded ethylenes, 2-
methyl(9-thioxanthylidene)-2,2-dimethyl- 1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (3) and
hioxanthylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (5), have been pre
pared and dynamic H-1 NMR studies revealed 1 racemization barriers of
10.3 kcal mol(-1) (S) and 23.2 kcal mol(-1) (5).
