Abstract: 
Perhydroazulenes are common structural motifs in various terpene natural products. Herein, we present the synthesis of parent cis- and trans-perhydroazulenes. Conformational analysis performed with density functional theory (DFT, e.g., B3LYP, M06-2X) and MP2 geometry optimizations with a cc-pVTZ basis set, followed by CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ single-point energy computations reveals that the cis isomer is 0.7 kcal mol(-1) more stable than the trans isomer. Steric and torsional strains present in the trans isomer are responsible for this unexpected relative cis/trans stability.
