The cis and trans isomers of 1, 3-dimethylcyclobutane havebeen prepared by stereospecific synthesis and the earlier geometric assignments have been found to be reversed. The cis isomer is inferred to be of lower enthalpy. The cis and trans isomers ofmethyl 3-methylcyclobutanecarboxylate have been prepared by stereospecific reactions and equilibrated. The cis isomer predominates over the trans at equilibrium; AFm is 0.3 kcal./mole. The cis-and Zrons-dimethyl 1, 3-cyclobutanedicarboxylates have been equilibrated and AFm favors the trans isomer by 0.1 kcal./mole. The greater stability of the trans isomer here appears to be due to dipole-dipole interactions.While the conformational aspects of the cyclohexane ring have been studied in great detail, much less is known concerning rings of other sizes. 4 The present paper is concerned with some of the conformational properties of the cyclobutane ring. Cyclobutane has been shown by electron diffraction5· 6 and by spectro-scopic andthermodynamic measurements7 to be
