The conformational equilibria in the series of 2-substituted 1,1-difluorocyclohexanes were investigated by comparison of the integral intensities of the signals of the conformers in the low-temperature /sup 19/F NMR and PMR spectra and from the averaged width of the signal for the methine proton ion the PMR spectra. It was found that the equilibrium is displaced toward the axial conformer compared with the corresponding monosubstituted cyclohexanes, and this was explained on the basis of dipole-dipole repulsion in the equatorial conformer. The structural characteristics of the 1,1,2-trisubstituted cyclohexanes prevent the appearance of the quantum-mechanical effect which stabilizes the gauche arrangement of the strongly electronegative substituents.
