As. Fazylova et Km. Turdybekov, Possible conformations and relative stability of the 7-membered ring in 1 alpha 5 beta,6,7 alpha(H)- and 1 beta,5 alpha,6,7 alpha(H)-guai-11(13)-en-6,12-olides, CHEM NAT CO, 36(1), 2000, pp. 68-71
Stereoisomers of 1 alpha,5 beta,6,7 alpha(H)- and 1 beta,5 alpha,6,7 alpha(
H)-guai-11(13)-en-6,12-olides are calculated using molecular mechanics. The
possibility of forming various conformations in the 7-membered ring is exa
mined as a function of the fusion to the 5-membered C-ring. The effect of t
he methyl orientation on the conformation of the 7-membered ring and the re
lative stability of the conformers are discussed.
