By conformational analysisis meantthe analysis of physical and chemical properties of compounds in terms of the “conformation”(rotational arrangement about single bonds) of the ground states, transition states, or excited states of the corresponding molecules. While conformational analysis historically dates back to the classical paperof Sachse1 on the chair and flexible (boat) forms of cyclohexane, the wide impact of the sub-ject today was initiated by the pioneering paper of Barton2 3relating cyclohexane conformation to stability, physical properties, and reactivity. In the past 12 years cyclohexane and (to a lesser extent) simple al-kanes8· 4 567have been studied quantitatively as well as qualitatively fromthe conformational point of view, and several summaries of the extensive body of information in thisfield are available. 5-8The fact that many important cyclic compounds—carbohydrates, many alkaloids, nucleic acids, and even tetrahydrocannabinol—as well as the majority of acy-clic compounds (including polymers such as polyoxymethylene and polyoxyethylene) contain elements other than carbon and hydrogen demonstrates the need for extending conformational study to rings and chains with heteroatoms. Although qualitative studies, es-pecially in the alkaloid and carbohydrate area, are available (and, in the case of carbohydrates, sometimes have preceded similar studies in carbocycles) 9 and al-though some of the pioneering work in the application of proton magnetic resonance has been in the carbohy-
