Conformational analysis of acyclic compounds with oxygen–sulphur interactions. Part VI. Some 1-thioderivatives of 2-propanol and its acetates

Abstract
A conformational study of 1-X-2-propanol (X = SH, SMe, SOMe, SO2Me, +SMe2) and their O-acetyl derivatives (X = SMe, SOMe, SO2Me, and +SMe2) is reported. From the relative values of the vicinal coupling constants in 1H nmr spectra it has been possible to establish the conformational preference. When a density of opposite charge is supported by heteratoms, polar factors determined a great predominance of that conformation in which the sulphur function has an anti-relationship with respect to the methyl group. In thiol and thioethers the conformational preference is not so marked.
