Force field calculations suggest that the conformation of levopimaric acid and configurationally related steroidal dienes such as cholesta-2, 4-diene may bestbe discussed in terms of a conformationally mobile system in which thediene ring can adopt a “levopimaric like” or a “cholesta-2, 4-diene like” conformation. The energies of these conformations vary with the number and positioning of substituents, and the resulting equilibria are dis-cussed for a number of model compounds. Previously reported circular dichroism data are discussed in terms of relative populations calculated for these conformers. The effects of substituents appear to be important in deter-mining the amplitudes of the circular dichroism curves.-Ray crystallography8 has shown that levopimaric acid (la) exists in a folded conformation in the crystalline state, with the C9-C10 bondin a quasiaxial orientation with respect to thediene ring. In-vestigation of the optical rotatory dispersion4 of levopimaric acid (la) and cholesta-2, 4-diene (2a) had pre-viously led to the suggestion that levopimaric acid exists in this folded conformation in solution, in con-trast to the extended conformation deduced for the configurationally related cholesta-2, 4-diene (2a), in which the C10-C9 bond is quasi-equatorial. Sup-porting evidence for the latter conclusion had been ob-tained from nmr, 4, 5 surface film, 6 and photochemical7 studies.
