Ten 2‐aryl‐3‐(2′,4′‐dinitrophenylthio)cyclohexenes were prepared, their 1H NMR spectra measured and chemical shifts assigned on the basis of nuclear Overhauser enhancements, H,H‐COSY spectra and other considerations. Analysis of the data suggests the preference of the conformer with (i) the arylthio group in the axial orientation and (ii) the dinitrophenyl group oriented away from the cyclohexene ring
