  abstract  = {para-Substituted benzoic acid esters of cyclohexanol, 1,4-dihydroxycyclohexane, 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and of the corresponding exo-methylene derivative were synthesized and the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexane skeleton studied by low temperature H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The geometry optimized structures of the axial/equatorial chair conformers were computed at the DFT level of theory. Only one preferred conformation of the ester group was obtained for both the axial and the equatorial conformer, respectively. The content of the axial conformer increases with growing polarity of the 6-membered ring moiety; hereby, in addition, the effect of sp(2) hybridization/polarity of C(4)= O/C(4)= CH2 on the present conformational equilibria is critically evaluated. Another dynamic process could be studied, for the first time in this kind of compounds. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

  abstract  = {The esters of 4-hydroxy-cyclohexanone and a series of carboxylic acids R-COOH with R of different electronic and steric influence (R=Me, Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, i-Bu, sec-Bu, t-Bu, CF3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, CH2Br, CHBr2, and CBr3) were synthesized and the conformational equilibria studied by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy at 103 K and at 295 K, respectively. The geometry of optimized structures of the axial 'equatorial chair conformers was computed at the ab initio MO and DFT levels of theory. Only one preferred conformation was obtained for the axial and the equatorial conformer as well. When comparing the conformational equilibria of the cyclohexanone esters with those of the corresponding cyclohexyl esters a certain polarity contribution of the cyclohexanone framework was revealed, which is independent of the substituent effects and increases the stability of the axial conformers by a constant amount.},
