CONFORMATIONAL STUDIES OF CYCLOBUTANE SYSTEMS,
Abstract
Isolated attempts were made to detect the pre sence of nonplanarity in cyclobutane rings. Significant deviations from planarity were meas ured for cyclobutane, octafluorocyclobutane, octachlorocyclobutane, and bromocyclobutane. The results in the first two cases, however, have not been without controversy. It was the object of the present work to devis a fairly general, but still straightforward, method of detecting the presnece and determining the magnitude of puckering in substituted cyclobutane rings, and to ascertain whether the results could be inter preted in terms of an equilibrium between axial and equatorial conformations.
