β¦ Synopsis
The extreme similarity (except in the vicinity of the nitrogen atom) of the 13C spectra of the agonist-antagonist pairs oxymorphone-naloxone and morphine-nalorphine and their respective hydrochlorides suggests that the N-methyl and N-aUyl compounds have analogous conformations. This makes unlikely an interpretation of the agonist-antagonist dichotomy in terms of confonnational differences. Both morphine hydrochloride and nalorphine hydrochloride exist as mixtures of two diastereomers: ca 83% of the isomer with equatorial N-akyl and 17% of the isomer with axial N-aikyl (AG'=O.95 kcalmol-I).

Two conformations of cis-cyclohexyl-10-crown-3 were detected in solution below 250 K using 1H NMR at 400 MHz and 13C NMR at 100 MHz. Chemical shift assignments were facilitated by spectra of two dideuterio derivatives. From relative peak area measurements, the conformation with the unit OΓCH 2 ΓCH 2
Two conformations of the cis-cyclohexano-8-crown-3 molecule were detected at 185 K. From relative 13 C NMR peak area measurements, the conformation with the O-CH 2 -O unit equatorial was found to be favoured by 4.4 Ε‘ 0.4 kJ mol 1 . In the spectrum of the minor conformer at low temperature, a 9.6 ppm
