The latter should thus correspond to the anti structure since its methyl groups lie in a position where they experience the upfield shift displacement due to the aromatic ring currents; see: Jackman, L. M.; Sternhell, S. Applications of NMR Spectroscopy in Organic Chemistry, 2nd ed.; Pergamon Press: Oxford, 1969; p 95. Jennings, W. B.; Farrell, B. M.; Malone, J. F Acc. Chem. Res. 2001, 34, 885-894.

36. It has to be pointed out that the experimental interconversion is accomplished via the rotation of either of the two naphthalene rings, whereas the computed value was obtained assuming the rotation of only one ring. Thus, for an appropriate comparison the experimental rate constant should be divided by 2 (see, for instance: Lunazzi, L.; Mazzanti, A.; Minzoni, M. J. Org. Chem. 2007, 72, 2501-2507.
