โฆ Synopsis
Williams of Notre Dame, AMONG the numerous conformational equilibrium values reported in the literature 1,2 that of the amino group is conspicuously missing. Tich;, Jon;; and Sicher3 some years ago determined pK data which indicate a qualitatively that the -dG value for the equilibrium is comparable in magnitude with that for methyl (1.7 kcal./mole4) and these indications are now quantitatively supported as shown in the accompanying letter. 5

IN the previous letter,' a conformational free energy difference2 of 0.8 kcal/mole was reported for the -SC6H5 group. The small magnitude of this difference agrees with the finding of Chiurdoglu and coworkers3 for -SH based on infrared study and is also in line with findings for other single atoms,
Studies in the field of conformational snalyeis have led to the assignment of ccnfozmational free energy differences (-AFx) to a large number of substituents.' No information has appeared on the oonfonnatlcmal equilibrium of the trifluoromethyl group, whioh is of interest caupared vith other syuveet
## Recent investigations of a variety of substituted N-methylpiperidines indicate that the N-methyl group of g-methylpiperidine prefers the equatorial over the axial orientation by about -2.5 to 3.0 kcal/mol,1-5 a value considerably higher then that found in methylcyclohexane. 6,7 we now report on
