N.m.r, data for fifteen 1,4-benzoquinones, four 1,4-naphthoquinones, and six cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-diones are tabulated. From these, and previously available data, it is possible to obtain characteristic ranges for methyl-allylic coupling constants (c 1.3 c/s) and methyl-methyl homoallylic coupling constants (c. 1.3 c/s) for this for this series of compounds as well as values for other long-range and vicinal interactions, including a negative coupling across five bonds. On the basis of both chemical shifts and coupling constants it was concluded that 1,4-benzoquinones have little aromaticity from the N.M.R. point of view. The halogen atoms in 5,6-dihalogenocyclohex-2-ene-1,4-diones appear to be tram diaxial.

The allylic system in avenaciolide (I) offers an example of exceptionally large allylic coupling constants with a reversed order of relative magnitude (Jcisoid 2.17 c/s; Jtransoid 2.56 c/s). Allylic coupling in related cyclic systems is discussed.

13C,19F and 19F,19F nuclear spin–spin coupling constants over n formal bonds, n = 1–9, are reported for 4-fluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, 4,4′-difluoro-2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl, 2,7-difluorofluorene, 2-fluoro-9-fluorenone, and 2,7-difluoro-9-fluorenone in acetone solutions. The signs of many of the coupling constants are deduced from second-order spectral phenomena caused by differential 13C isotope effects on the I9F nmr chemical shifts. Theoretical potentials, based on geometry-optimized STO 3G MO computations for 4-fluorobiphenyl and 4,4′-difluorobiphenyl, yield expectation values for the torsion angles about the exocyclic C—C linkage that are very close to those deduced from electron diffraction patterns. These potentials and INDO MO FPT computations of the long-range coupling constants allow a discussion of the coupling mechanisms. In Hz, 9J(F,F) = 1.3(1) cos2 θ, where θ is zero for a planar biphenyl, while 8J(C,F) = 0.8(1) cos2 θ and 7J(C,F) = −0.43(5) cos2 θ. 6J(C,F) is a composite of σ–π and π electron coupling components and is written in Hz as 0.57(1) + 0.29(1) sin2 θ. The corresponding coupling constants in the fluorene and 9-fluorenone derivatives are enhanced in magnitude relative to a hypothetical planar biphenyl derivative. It is tentatively suggested that 5J(C,F) consists of three coupling components, one negative and proportional to cos2 θ, the other two positive and independent of θ. 4J(C,F) is suggested to consist of a σ component of −1.0 Hz and a π component proportional to the atom–atom polarizability for the parent hydrocarbon.

The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde in CS2/C6D12 and acetone-d6 solutions provide the chemical shifts and coupling constants of all the protons. The long-range coupling constants involving the side-chain protons yield certain sums of the populations of the four putatively planar conformations. The o-anti conformers have a fractional population of 0.55(3) in the polar and of 0.49(3) in the nonpolar solvent. The conformers in which the methine C—H bond lies cis to the aldehyde group have a fractional population of 0.83(3) in both solutions. The close approach of the methine and aldehydic hydrogen atoms in one conformer is indicated by a negative proximate coupling constant between their protons of –0.39(1) Hz. The chemical shifts of the ring and of the side-chain protons are consistent with the conformer populations deduced from the long-range coupling constants and also with the indications that the side chains do not, on average, deviate from "coplanarity" with the ring by much more or less than in the parent compounds. The C—H … H—C and C—H … O=C interactions in the o-syn and o-anti conformers are most likely repulsive and of very similar magnitude and lead to a significant deshielding of the protons in these moieties. Molecular orbital computations are also reported and are an aid in estimating the populations of the individual conformers. The STO-3G MO structures have H … H and H … O distances well below the sums of the van der Waals radii of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the conformers with the methine C—H bond placed cis to the aldehyde group, yet these are computed to be by far the most abundant by the STO-3G as well as by AM1 algorithms. Key words: 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, conformations of; 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, proximate spin–spin coupling constants in; MO calculations, STO-3G, and AM1 on 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde, 1H NMR and long-range spin–spin coupling constants in 2-isopropylbenzaldehyde.

A number of acetyl-substituted fluoronaphthalenes have been synthesized and their fluorine as well as proton N.M.R. spectra have been measured. The methyl proton resonances of these derivatives appeared as a doublet which indicated long-range coupling with the fluorine. It was observed that the coupling (JMe,F) for 3-acetyl-2-fluoronaphthalene and o- fluoroacetophenone is independent of the magnitude of the 19F substituent chemical shifts (scs) which are shown to be sensitive indices of the bond-order differences in naphthalene (C 1 and C 2; C 2 and C 3) and benzene. Furthermore, the magnitude of the long-range proton-fluorine spin-spin coupling constants are solvent dependent. The data are clearly in accord with a predominant contribution of a ?direct? mechanism to the proton-fluorine spin-spin coupling.

The strong influence of a chalcogen atom (O, S, Se) attached to phosphorus on the spin-spin coupling constant 1J(P-15N) in the family of diastereoisomeric 2-|15N] -phenyl-amino-2X(X = O, S, Se)-4-methyl-l,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes is demonstrated. The 15N/14N isotope effect on the nuclear shielding of phosphorus-31 is larger for the shorter equatorial than for the longer axial P-N bonds.

A very good correlation exists between long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the α-protons in toluene, ethylbenzene, and cumene, and the changes in the chemical shifts of the para and α carbons caused by deuterium substitution at the α carbon. The coupling constants depend on sin2 θ, where θ is the angle by which the α C—H bond twists out of the ring plane, and can be used to find the expectation value of sin2 θ. Consequently the observed correlation provides quantitative support for the hyperconjugative model employed by Wesener and Günther.

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.
