Constitutional isomerism in bicyclic diacetals and the conformational behaviour of cis-fused 1,3,6,8-tetraoxabicyclo[5,3,0]decanes

Ian J. Burden and J. Fraser Stoddart


The equilibrium proportions of the constitutional isomers (1)–(4) and the conformational behaviour of the cis-fused 1,3,6,8-tetraoxabicyclo[5,3,0]decanes (1a)–(4a) provide no evidence for the gauche arrangement of the vicinal oxygen substituents being a stabilising feature in these systems.
