Abstract

The 270- and 500-MHz 1H NMR spectra of cyclo-(L-Pro3) have been completely analyzed. The molecule shows effective C3 symmetry. A number of previous spectral assignments had to be revised on the basis of 4H chemical shifts and changes in these shifts caused by the addition of benzene, Me2SO, or the shift reagent Eu(fod)3. The 1H coupling constants are best interpreted in terms of an α+ (envelope) conformation. The high mobility of the γ-CH2 group easily transforms this structure to twist conformations.
