    Abstract

    The crystal structures of p-nitrobenzoate esters I (n = 1-3) were detd. by x-ray anal. I contain imbedded boat-conformation 4-hydroxycyclohexanones whose C(1)-C(4) distances decrease from 2.67 Å in I (n = 1) to 2.480 Å in I (n = 3). The relationship of the structural variation to the barriers and reaction path for the 1,4-hydride transfer in the corresponding alkoxide anions is discussed. [on SciFinder(R)]
