A steric trend is observed for the reactions by variable temperature NMR in CDCl<sub>3</sub>, with ΔG (kJ/mol, 298 K) for <i>trans</i> ⇋open, open ⇋ <i>cis</i> and alkyl substituents: methyl (+ 0.3, -0.3), <i>n</i>-pentyl (-2.6, + 3.0), isopropyl (-2.8, + 5.0), cyclohexyl (-4.3, + 7.2), neopentyl (-6.3, + 5.7) and <i>t</i>-butyl (<-13, >+13) in CDCl<sub>3</sub>. The <i>trans</i> ⇋ open reactions typically are entropically favored but decreasingly enthalpically favored with substituent size. For the open ⇋ <i>cis</i> reactions, enthalpic terms increasingly favor ring opening, while entropic contributions favoring open forms are moderated by greater conformational flexibility in the cyclic forms. Similar results were observed in d<sub>6</sub>-dmso. In the solid state, (R)-3-(2’-oxopent-4’-yl)-4-hydroxycoumarin crystallizes in the monoclinic system (<i>P</i> 2<sub>1</sub>, Z = 6) with one <i>trans</i> and two <i>cis</i> hemiketal tautomers comprising the asymmetric unit. Racemic (±)-3-(2’-oxonon-4’-yl)-4-hydroxycoumarin crystallizes in the triclinic system (<i>P</i> -1) as the <i>cis</i> (2R,4R / 2 S,4 S) hemiketals.

From 23 determinations including six reported here, embedded dihydropyran ring conformations provide a structural basis for the steric interactions in the cyclic forms. Alkyl groups in <i>trans</i> isomers distort the nearby coumarin carbonyl oxygen toward the opposite side of the coumarin ring. Computations (DFT) corroborate the relative stabilities of the cyclic hemiketals with the smaller substituents, but underestimate the importance of solvent on stabilization of the open tautomers.
