Restricted Rotation Involving the Tetrahedral Carbon. XLV. Appearance of a Maximum in the Rotational Barriers of 9-(1,1-Dimethyl-2-phenylethyl)triptycenes at a Medium-sized peri-Substituent

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.56.306

Rotational isomers of seven peri-substituted 9-(1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylethyl)triptycene derivatives were stereoselectively synthesized and classical kinetics on rotational isomerization were studied.While compounds with relatively small peri-substituents (F
