Abstract
In, out-isomers of two macrobicyclic polyethers have been prepared by a specific route and have been shown by 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy to undergo in, out–out, in isomerization; in the case of the smaller cryptand, the interconversion may be slowed sufficiently by cooling for the bridgehead carbon atoms to be distinguished spectroscopically.
