Abstract
The preferred conformation of 8‐methyl‐cis‐thiahydrindane has been both estimated by ^13^C NMR chemical shifts and determined by low temperature ^13^C NMR spectroscopy to be the conformer with the methyl group equatorial with respect to the cyclohexane ring. This result is in disagreement with the interpretation of the temperature dependence of the CD spectra of (+) and (−) 8‐methyl‐cis‐2‐thiahydrindane, whereby the conformation with the methyl group axial with respect to the cyclohexane ring was claimed to be the preferred conformation. The preferred conformation of the related oxygen heterocycle, 8‐methyl‐cis‐2‐oxahydrindane, has been estimated by ^13^C NMR chemical shifts to be the conformer with the methyl group axial with respect to the cyclohexane ring. Possible reasons for these observations are discussed.

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 š 0.4 kJ mol 1 .

The 'H and "C NMR spectra of cis-and trans-fused N-methyloctahydro-2H-1,3-and -3,l-benzoxazines and their 2-methyl derivatives were analysed. All trans-fused derivatives studied existed in biased double chair conformations with roughly equal contributions of the equatorial and axial N-methyl groups.
