The conformers of the various stereoisomers of a series of gamma-chlor
opropyl methyl ethers 1-4 with 1, 2 and 3 chiral centres have been est
imated by Molecular Modelling (MOBY) and the results compared with the
data of previous H-1 and C-13 NMR studies. The calculations corrobora
te former NMR results and the remarkable potential of both NMR spectro
scopy and Molecular Modelling to assign even four diastereomers of acy
clic molecules with three chiral centres.
