The Stereochemistry of 1,4-Di-Tert-Butyl-1,4-Dihydronaphthalene
Description:
A new approach was taken in the elucidation of the stereochemistry of the symmetrically 1,4-disubstituted 1,4-dihydronaphthalene systems which show deceptively simple NMR spectra. Thus, the stereochemistry of 1,4-di-tert-butyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene was established unequivocally. The epoxide derivative, the subject compound, 1,4-di-tertbutyl-2, 3-epoxy-1, 4-dihydronaphthalene, was formed and its trans stereochemistry was established by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. A lanthanide shift study was also condu…
