Abstract
Molecular mechanics calculations have been made in order to analyze the reasons for the realization of one of four conformations in sesquiterpene germacranes and to evaluate their relative stabilities in the most probable states. Conformational transitions in unsubstituted 6(7)- and 7(8)-germacrolides and unlactonized germacranes have been modeled.
