Abstract

We wanted to elucidate the reason why the trityloxymethyl substituent in $\gamma$-trityloxymethyl-$\gamma$­butyrolactone takes a sterically unfavorable specific conformation, and so we synthesized 5-trityloxymethyldihydrofuran-3-one, 3-(trityloxymethyl)-4-butanolide and 2-trityloxymethyl- tetrahy­drofuran and we then analyzed their conformation by $^{1}H-NMR$ analysis.
