Dm. Collard et al., HIGHLY TWISTED SUBSTITUTED ARENES - X-RAY STRUCTURE AND DYNAMIC H-1-NMR SPECTRA OF ,4-DIALKYL-2,3,5,6-TETRAKIS(ALKYLSULFONYL)BENZENES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (13), 1995, pp. 1357-1358
The sulfonyl groups around ubstituted-2,3,5,6-tetrakis(alkylsulfonyl)b
enzenes adopt an altering orientation and the ring is highly twisted,
with external torsion angles (S-C-ar-C-ar-S) of 46 degrees and interna
l torsion angles(C-ar-C-ar-CarCar) of 23 degrees.
