Abstract:
Thiacalix[4]arene spirodienone was rearranged into the corresponding phenoxathiin-based macrocycle. Alkylation of this inherently chiral system to achieve its immobilization led to a mixture of only two (out of four theoretically possible) stereoisomers. As standard NOE and dynamic NMR experiments did not lead to unambiguous determination of the structures we applied the Residual Dipolar Coupling constant (RDC) method. Poly-γ-ethyl-l-glutamate (PELG) and poly-γ-benzyl-l-glutamate (PBLG) were found to be easily applicable lyotropic liquid crystalline alignment media for the conformational analysis of thiacalixarene derivatives. Using these media the 1,2-alternate and the partial cone conformations were determined unequivocally.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
