Abstract
The interconversion barriers between two twisted conformers of four oxygen-containing cyclohexene analogues have been investigated utilizing a periodic hindered pseudorotational model, molecular mechanics (MM3) calculations, and previously reported far-infrared spectra. The six-fold pseudorotational potential energy function satisfactorily fits the observed bending transitions. The interconversion barrier heights calculated from the pseudorotational model show excellent agreement with those determined from two-dimensional potential energy surfaces for the ring-bending and ring-twisting vibrations. The barriers to interconversion range from 3350 cm-1 (9.6 kcal/mol) to 3890 cm-1 (11.1 kcal/mol) for four oxygen-containing cyclohexene analogues.
