George R. Painter,* Ronald Pollack, and Berton C. Pressman abstract: The conformational dynamics of lasalocid A have been studied in a series of solvents of graded polarity by means of circulardichroism (CD) and computer-generated molecular models. In high polarity solvents, the uncomplexed anionic ionophore assumes an acyclic conformation minimizing in-trinsic molecular strain energy. In this state, the dipoles of the liganding oxygens in the carbon backbone and the terminal carboxylate are stabilized by a high degree of solvent asso-ciation. As the solvent polarity decreases, the dynamic con-formational equilibrium progressively shifts toward a cyclic conformation which predominates at low polarity. Cyclization proceeds by rotation about three carbon-carbon hingebonds. The resulting twist of the backbone introduces torsional strain which is offset at low polarity by electrostatic stabilization gained through intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Formation
