13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and nJ(13C,13C) are reported for anisole and 16 of its derivatives, all enriched with 13C in the methoxyl group. 5J(13C,13C) is directly proportional to sin2θ, where θ is the angle by which the methoxy group twists about the C(1)—O bond. In acetone-d6 solution, 5J(C,C) is not observable for a number of 4-substituted anisoles, except for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. For the latter, 5J(C,C) is compatible with a twofold barrier of 19.3 ± 1.1 kJ/mol hindering rotation about the C(1)—O bond. However, it is unlikely that the barrier is purely twofold in nature. The observed 5J(C,C) is also compatible with 10.5 and 6.0 kJ/mol for the twofold and fourfold components, respectively, implying a dynamical nuclear magnetic resonance barrier of less than 13 kJ/mol. While phase and solvent effects on the internal barrier in anisole are certainly substantial, it appears that a fourfold component must also be present. The apparent twofold barrier in 2,6-difluoroanisole is 5.4 ± 0.9 kJ/mol, based on 5J(C,C) and 6J(H-4,13C). The latter coupling constant is also reported for 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene and used to deduce its conformation. The θ dependence of 3J(C,C) and 4J(C,C) is briefly discussed for symmetrical anisole derivatives. Differential 13C, 13C isotope shifts are reported for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene.

An excellent linear correlation (r = 0.9999) exists between the spin–spin coupling constants 1J(1H,13C), in benzene dissolved in four solvents (R. Laatikainen et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117, 11006 (1995)) and Ando's solvation dielectric function, ε/(ε – 1). The solvents are cyclohexane, carbon disulfide, pyridine, and acetone. 1J(1H,13C)for gaseous benzene is predicted to be 156.99(2) Hz at 300 K. Key words: spin–spin coupling constants, 1J(1H,13C) for benzene in the vapor phase; spin–spin coupling constants, solvent dielectric constant dependence of 1J(1H,13C) in benzene; benzene, estimate of 1J(1H,13C) in the vapor; nuclear magnetic resonance, estimate of 1J(1H,13C) in gaseous benzene.

The proton resonance spectra of pyridine, 2,6-pyridine-d2, 3-pyridine-d1, and 4-pyridine-d1 have been obtained for the pure liquids under conditions of high resolution. The spectra have been analyzed as proton groupings of AB2X2, AB2, perturbed ABX, and B2X2 respectively. The spin-coupling constants obtained from analysis of the simpler spectra of the deuterated molecules were used to suggest trial solutions for the analysis of the complicated AB2X2 spectrum of pyridine. A final set of chemical shifts and spin-coupling constants derived for pyridine give satisfactory agreement between the observed and calculated spectrum.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between protons bonded to silicon and ring protons in C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, C6H5SiH2CH3, C6H5SiHCl2, and C6H5SiH(CH3)2 are determined from the proton magnetic resonance spectra of benzene solutions. A hindered rotor treatment of the barrier to internal rotation about the C—Si bond, in conjunction with the coupling constants over six bonds, allows the deduction of the low-energy conformations for C6H5SiH(CH3)2 and for C6H5SiHCl2, as well as of barriers of 1.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol. The approach becomes less reliable for C6H5SiH2CH3 and for C6H5SiH2Cl and, particularly for the latter compound, the derived barrier is very likely an upper limit only. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of the conformational energies are reported for C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, and for C6H5SiHCl2.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectral results including chemical shifts, anisotropy effects, spin coupling constants, and hydrogen bonding phenomena are presented for the diastereoisomeric pair of α–β amino alcohols (−)-ephedrine and (+)-Ψ-ephedrine. The results are shown to be in keeping with the existence of a preferred residence conformation for each of the diastereoisomers.
