Abstract
In 2-phenyl-1.3-dithiane (1) and its p-methyl derivative (2) theequatorial phenyl adopts a conformation coinciding with the symmetry plane of the molecule. For 2-(2′-methylphenyl)-1.3-dithiane (4) acisoid relation of theaxial hydrogen on C-2 and the aromatic methyl group was established. This conformation can be changed by substitution of position 2 by methyl: in this geminally substituted compound (3), phenyl no longer assumes theequatorial position, and the plane of the phenyl group isperpendicular to the symmetry plane of the molecule. These deductions depend on the deshielding effect of sulphur and the diamagnetic anisotropy of the aromatic ring in the NMR spectra influencing the chemical shifts of the orthoprotons and of the protons of the dithiane ring respectively. The influence of the conformation on both of these effects is taken into account.
