Conformations of cycloundecane

J Org Chem. 2006 Aug 18;71(17):6512-5. doi: 10.1021/jo0608422.

Abstract

Cycloundecane (1) was shown to exist at -183.1 degrees C as a mixture of the [12323] (approximately 59%) and [335] (approximately 41%) conformations. Populations were determined from the (13)C NMR spectrum, and assignments were based on the (13)C spectra, calculated free energies and chemical shifts, and information from the literature, including X-ray studies of solid derivatives and calculated barriers.
