The conformational mobility was studied by dynamic PMR and the free energies of activation of the conformational transitions of 5,5-bis(chloromethyl)-, 5,5-bis(iodomethyl)- and 2,3-pentamethylene-bis-5,5-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3-dioxanes were determined. The PMR spectra in toluene were studied over the temperature range of 20 to -70/sup 0/C. In the PMR spectra at room temperature, the resonance lines of the geminal protons of all the groups of the dioxane ring are in the form of fairly narrow singlets, which indicates a rapid chair-chair type inversion on the NMR time scale that is known for six-membered heterocycles. With decrease in temperature, the rate of the ring inversion decreases.
