Abstract
Carbon-13 chemical shifts and 13C—1H couplings are reported for some substituted 2-methoxy-1,3-dioxanes and related tetrahydropyran derivatives. These data, together with nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments, provided evidence for a favored orientation of the methoxyl group. From an analysis of the 13C chemical shifts and the magnitude of vicinal 13C—1H coupling between —OCH3 and H-2, a possible dynamic-equilibrium orientation for the methoxyl group is proposed, and an evaluation of the significance of a "generalized exo-anomeric effect" is presented.Keywords
