Spin Spin Coupling

The twofold internal barriers to rotation about the C—S bond in 3,5-diX-thiophenols were determined in solution from long-range spin–spin coupling constants. They are 3.4, 4.85, 5.3, 6.45, and 7.25 ± 10% kJ/mol for X = H, CH3, OCH3, F, and Cl, respectively. In 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxythiophenol, V2 is −0.8 kJ/mol as compared to −1.9 kJ/mol in 4-methoxythiophenol. The para substituent here dominates. The observed barriers are in rough agreement with arguments based on perturbation molecular orbital theory and with MO calculations of changes in the barrier caused by substituents. The computed values appear as nearly pure twofold barriers with very small fourfold components.

Spin Spin Coupling

Carbon-13, proton nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been measured for a number of 4-substituted isothiazoles. The observed values are compared with those measured in other heterocyclic systems and those calculated in the parent and related heterocyclics using finite perturbation theory and semi-empirical molecular orbital theory at the CNDO/2 and INDO levels of approximation.

Spin Spin Coupling

Approximate molecular orbital theory at the INDO level of approximation has been used to examine 1J(15N,H) and 2(HNH) in ammonia as a function of the HNH angle. The couplings are very sensitive to the value of the HNH angle in the range from 110 to 120°. The computed trends are compared with those observed in other compounds containing the 15NH2 fragment. The signs and magnitudes of 1J(15N,H) and 2J(HNH) have been measured for 2-aminoacetophenone at temperatures where the amino protons are nonequivalent. The observed and calculated results suggest that the amino group lies in the plane of the benzene ring. In aniline the magnitude of 2J(HNH) lies between 1 and 2 Hz and on the basis of the trends in the calculated and experimental values the sign can be confidently taken as negative.

Spin Spin Coupling

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the α-proton in the side chain and the protons in the heterocycle in 2-vinylfuran, in its β-nitro and β-aldehydic derivatives, and in 2-vinylthiophene are used to demonstrate the preponderance of the s-trans conformers in polar and nonpolar solutions. These conclusions are compared with predictions made by molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G, INDO, CNDO/2, and MINDO/3 levels. Long-range coupling constants between the protons in the side chain and protons in the heterocycle are calculated by CNDO/2 and INDO–MO–FPT and are compared with experiment. It is concluded that the five-bond couplings involving the α-proton are most sensitive to conformation and that they are transmitted mainly via a σ electron mechanism. The other long-range coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron mechanisms. The STO-3G calculations yield barriers to internal rotation of greater than 4.8 kcal/mol.
