Article Synopsis
- The cyclopropane ring-opening reaction of riolozatrione produced a 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-cyclohexandione with a methyl ether at position 5, revealing an interesting molecular structure.
- Analysis of the product indicated a strong preference for the -diaxial conformation, influenced by intramolecular n → π* interactions between groups, which allowed for precise energy calculations.
- The study highlighted that these n → π* interactions, while weaker than hydrogen bonds and stronger than van der Waals forces, play a crucial role in molecular stability due to their stereoelectronic effects.
