โฆ Synopsis
Considerable effort hae been direoted towards identification of the preferred oonformation of the 1,4-oyclohexadiene ring. The most recent information canes from an electron diffraction study of the gaseous diene, and demonstrates that the ring adopts a boat conformation with a dihedral angle a, ( figure l), of 159.3 o (1) . This is In marked contrast with theccnolueione drawn from an elegant nmr investigation by Garbisch and Griffith, whose results ruggested that the ring le planar ( a -1800), or nearly 80. (2) c *' a*

Current literature (l-11) devotes much attention to long range coupling constants. Generally, the magnitude of the long range coupling can be easily determined by assuming first order splitting. However, access to the relative sign is more difficult and possible only in some cases (1,3,

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique was used to show that simple alkyl radicals readily abstract hydrogen from l,4-cyclohexadiene. Rate constants for the reaction were ca. 104-105 M-' s-' at 300 K and activation energies 5-7 kcal mol-'. For the stabilized radicals, ally1 and benzyl, t
