Conformational analysis of δ-lactams

δ-lactams substituted at C-5 by an oxygen atom exist, in solution principally, in the axial conformation. This axial preferred form is also present in the solid state. It has been observed that C-5 oxygen substituted lactams exist, in solution principally, in the axial conformation due to the attrac...

Summary:δ-lactams substituted at C-5 by an oxygen atom exist, in solution principally, in the axial conformation. This axial preferred form is also present in the solid state. It has been observed that C-5 oxygen substituted lactams exist, in solution principally, in the axial conformation due to the attractive gauche effect. This form is also present in the solid state.
