Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study of Ring Inversion in Cycloheptene

Abstract
The p.m.r. spectrum of 4,4,5,6,6-pentadeuteriocycloheptene (3) has been studied down to −171 °C. Analysis of the spectral change below −160 °C yielded a ΔF value of 5.0 kcal/mol at −165 °C. Possible energy profiles for the ring inversion of cycloheptene are discussed.
