The conformational preferences in CCl4 solution at 32 °C of the hydroxyl groups in bromine derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene are deduced from the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons over five bonds. Two hydroxyl groups hydrogen bond to the same bromine substituent in 2-bromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene but prefer to hydrogen bond to different bromine substituents when available, as in 2,4-dibromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene. When the OH groups can each choose between two ortho bromine atoms, as in 2,4,6-tribromoresorcinol, they apparently do so in a very nearly statistical manner except that they avoid hydrogen bonding to the common bromine atom.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between the sulfhydryl proton and the ring protons in 2-nitrothiophenol in CDCl3 and C6D6 solutions suggest the presence of two conformers in which the S—H bond prefers the benzene plane. The conformer in which the S—H bond lies trans to the nitro group is favoured over the cis conformer by a free energy difference of 0.5 ± 0.2 kcal/mol at 305 K. Apparently any intramolecular hydrogen bond is very weak compared to that in 2-nitrophenol.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants for the sidechain protons in 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxythiophenol show that the compound exists as a mixture of three conformers in CCl4 solution at 305 K. The conformer, in which the S—H bond is held roughly perpendicular to the ring plane by an [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond, is 13% abundant. The other two conformers, of roughly equal proportions, contain an [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond. One of these has the S—H bond cis to the OH group, the other has it trans. The chemical shifts of the SH proton and of H-6 are in agreement with these conclusions. The free energy preference of the [Formula: see text] over the [Formula: see text] bond is 1140 ± 100 cal/mol at 305 K. The five-bond coupling between the sidechain protons is negative and very likely involves proximate interactions via lone pairs on oxygen and/or sulfur.
