CONFORMATIONAL PREFERENCE OF 4-ETHYL- 6-METHYL-1,3-DITHIANES

Interconversion reaction of I ⇔ II conformers of 4-ethyl-6-methyl-1,3-dithiane (METDIT) has been studied by means of ab initio methods on the frame of MO theory. Optimized geometries at HF/6-31G** level correlate well with that found for the parent 1,3-dithianefrom an x-ray diffraction stu...
