    Abstract

    Barriers to the inversion of the six-membered rings formed by bridging the 1 - and 8-positions of naphthalene with a CH2-X-CH2 chain (X = 0,S,Se, or Te) increase along the series, O<S<Se<Te, in marked contrast with the corresponding pentamethylene heterocycles, reflecting the importance of bond angle strain during inversion.
