7. -1 higher, and it is this value that, in principle, should be compared to the theoretical barrier.
8. -1 for cis (syn), cis (anti), and trans, respectively. These values correspond to theoretical populations of 33%, 18%, and 49%, respectively, a trend which parallels the experimental ratio of 32%, 10%, and 58%.
9. 13C chemical shifts (see the Experimental Section) of the trans conformer of 3. These calculations indicate that the upfield shift of the quaternary carbon bonded to the isopropyl moiety corresponds to that in the ring having a syn relationship to C=O, the downfield shift being that in the anti relationship. The experimental signal of the same carbon of the major (48%) cis conformer is very close to the upfield shift of the trans conformer, whereas the experimental signal of the minor (12%) cis conformer is close to the downfield shift of the trans conformer (Supporting Information Figure S-3). On this basis, it is thus conceivable to assign the cis (syn) structure to the major conformer and the cis (anti) structure to the minor conformer, in agreement with the trend of the computed energies.
10. The integrated intensity distribution of the isopropyl methyl lines matches the ratio 47:40:13 derived from the other signals. In particular, the four lines expected for the trans isomer correspond to the 40% intensity.
11. -1.
12. This value can still be compared to those obtained at lower temperatures since the conformational processes have free energies of activation nearly independent of temperature, due to the negligible contribution of the ΔS‡ values.

29. The identity of the two ΔG‡ values measured at temperatures as different as 21 and 107 °C (for the nearly equal compounds 4 and 3, respectively) further supports the consideration that the term ΔS‡ is negligible in the majority of conformational processes, as reported in ref 11.
