On the basis of the observed spin–spin coupling constants between the sulfhydryl and ring protons and a hindered rotor treatment of the twofold barrier to internal rotation in a series of para substituted benzenethiol derivatives, it is argued that V2 is essentially zero in p-amino-benzenethiol and is 2.5 ± 0.2 kcal/mol in p-nitrobenzenethiol; having intermediate values for the methoxy, fluoro, methyl, and bromo derivatives in solution. The results are based on an assumed relationship between the four-bond and the fictitious six-bond couplings to the sulfhydryl proton. The conclusions are consistent with the observed magnitudes of the couplings over six and seven bonds, respectively, between the sulfhydryl proton and the fluorine nucleus and the methyl protons in the appropriate derivatives; as well as with the coupling between the sulfhydryl and methyl protons in 4-bromo-3-methylbenzenethiol. The experimental barriers are compared with ab initio molecular orbital calculations of their substituent dependence.

The conformational preferences and barriers to internal rotation about the S—C(phenyl) bond have been investigated for thioanisole and its 2-fluoro, 2,6- and 3,5-difluoro, and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro derivatives. Measurements of long-range spin–spin couplings between the methyl carbon and the para ring proton indicate that the 2-fluoro and 3,5-difluoro compounds prefer conformations with all heavy atoms coplanar. The 2,6-difluoro and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro compounds prefer conformations in which the methyl carbon lies in or near the plane perpendicular to the aromatic ring. Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations with the MNDO method indicate that all of the molecules prefer perpendicular conformations while similar calculations with AM1 indicate that all prefer planar conformations. Apparently the conformational behaviour can be quite sensitive to subtle changes in intramolecular interactions, which may indicate improvements to these semiempirical methods. The NMR results have been used to derive an internally consistent set of rotational potentials. Synthetic photoelectron spectra derived from these potentials and the AM1 orbital energies are in good agreement with the experimental spectra.

Evidence is adduced, mainly from proton chemical shift and long-range coupling constant data, that the anti isomer of 2-furanaldoxime exists almost exclusively in the s-cis form in solution, independently of the type of intermolecular association that occurs. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding apparently is absent in this isomer. Similarly, the syn isomer exists in roughly equal mixtures of s-cis and s-trans forms in solvents of widely different polarities. A variety of nuclear spin–spin coupling constants are calculated via the INDO and CNDO molecular orbital approximations, as are the dipole moments and conformational energies, for 2-furanaldehyde and its oximes. On the whole the experimental trends are well reproduced by the computations.
