## Abstract The synthesis of 2,3βdidehydro[15]crownβ5 and β[18]crownβ6 derivatives 4a, b with vicinal Ξ±βnaphthyl groups at the double bonds starting from Ξ±βnaphthoin (3) is described. The barriers to rotation of the naphthyl groups were probed by MM2 and by dynamic ^1^HβNMR spectroscopy. An achiral
The trans conformations of methyl, ethyl and isopropyl formate were shown to be present in equilibrium in a polar solvent with the cis conformations to significant (> 1% at 230K) but much lower extents than for t-butyl fox-mate; rotational barriers for the former compounds are greater. Extensive in
