N.m.r, data for 14 α,β,β-trimethylstyrenes are given. The aromatic ring shields the β-methyl group cis to it relative to the β-methyl group trans to it. The magnitude of this relative shielding is greatest with ortho-substituted benzene rings. The cisoid homoallylic coupling constants in α,β,β-trimethylstyrenes (and indeed in all examples available from the literature) are smaller than the transoid homoallylic coupling constants.

Some general properties of ABCX -type spectra are discussed. It is shown that it is possible to deduce from such spectra the relative signs of all inter-nuclear coupling constants. Analyses are presented of the hydrogen (proton) spectra from the vinyl groups of vinyl fluoride and 3-methylbut-l-ene, and of the fluorine spectrum of the former molecule. It is shown that all HF coupling constants in vinyl fluoride are of the same sign as the cis and trans HH coupling constants.

The 13C nmr spectra of oxazole and eight mono- and disubstituted derivatives have been analyzed with regard to the chemical shifts and the various carbon–proton coupling constants of the ring carbons. The data of the parent oxazole are compared with thiazole and 1-methylimidazole.
