ESR. data are reported for the radical anions (II ⊖ to VI ⊖ ) of five alkyl substituted 6a‐thiathiophthenes . Rates and activation parameters for the inversion of the 3,4‐trimethylene chain in IV ⊖ , V ⊖ and VI ⊖ have been obtained by means of an iterative least squares computer program ESRCEX. Preferential conformations of the alkyl substituents are discussed in terms of the 〈cos 2 θ〉 dependence of the β‐proton coupling constants and with the aid of molecular models. Experimental evidence strongly suggests that the partial rotation of the ethyl and isopropyl groups in V ⊖ and VI ⊖ is correlated with the inversion of the 3,4‐trimethylene chain.
