Computer‐assisted pseudorotation analysis of five‐membered rings by means of proton spin–spin coupling constants: Program PSEUROT

A computer method for the calculation of the pseudorotational parameters in five‐membered rings from vicinal proton spin–spin coupling constants is described. Some typical problems met in practice are discussed. Applications of the program in the conformational analysis of some substituted cyclopentanes are presented.
