Key Points

Evidence from the Cambridge crystal database highlights the presence of the gauche effect in various crystal structures.
Examples found suggest that molecular conformations are significantly influenced by factors like π electrons and anomeric effects.
The analysis provides insights into the role of conformational preferences, particularly for compounds like 1,2-difluorethane.
Understanding the gauche effect is crucial for predicting molecular behavior and interactions in different chemical contexts.

Implication

Survey reveals examples of the gauche effect in crystal structures, highlighting its significance in molecular conformations.

Abstract

I previously blogged about anomeric effects involving π electrons as donors, and my post on the conformation of 1,2-difluorethane turned out one of the most popular. Here I thought I would present the results of searching the Cambridge crystal database for examples of the gauche effect.
