Abstract
Although conformational analysis by NMR of ethylene glycol indicates generally strong preferences for the gauche conformation in solvents ranging from water to chloroform, the bulk of the NMR evidence indicates that intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups is unlikely to be a significant factor in determining that preference, except possibly in fairly nonβpolar solvents. The βgauche effectβ is clearly very important, especially in aqueous solution. Copyright Β© 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The 'H and IBF NMR parameters of 5-fluoro-1,3-dioxan (1) dissolved in a number of solvent systems are interpreted on the basis of fast inversion between two chair conformations. In cyclohexane solution the two chair conformations are almost equally populated, whereas in more polar solvents, such as
