The N.M.R. spectra of several isoquinolines have been recorded and analysed. Extensive spin-decoupling allowed the magnitudes and relative signs of the long- range coupling constants to be determined, and these are presented. Several unusual features of the chemical shifts and coupling constants are noted.

The 100 MHz spectra of the phenyl protons in 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane have been analysed. The 60 MHz PMR chemical shifts and proton-proton coupling constants have been studied in the temperature range from -20 C to +80 °C. The chemical shifts were sensitive to temperature, while the coupling constants were not, except the long range 5Jm coupling constant between the methine proton and the meta positioned phenyl proton in 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the four isomeric diazanaphthalenes, quinoxaline, phthalazine, quinazoline, and cinnoline, all as dilute solutions in carbon tetrachloride and acetone, have been investigated at 100 Mc/s. The chemical shifts and coupling constants have been obtained by direct calculation or, where appropriate, by an iterative procedure. Long-range coupling constants between protons separated by five and six bonds have been observed.

The effects of long-range and virtual long-range coupling on the observed spectra of acetylated hexopyranoses and pentopyranoses are examined. Use is made of both spin decoupling and specific deuteration for the assignment of signals. It is seen that specific solvent effects on chemical shift can be superior to increasing the applied magnetic field for the resolution of the signals of closely related protons. The alteration of virtual long-range coupling effects in these ways can be useful in the diagnosis of spectra. Empirical rules are derived for estimating the long-range shielding effects which occur on changing configurations. It is seen that the inversion of a center can lead to deshielding of axial protons and to shielding of equatorial protons at other centers relative to the chemical shifts observed in reference compounds wherein all the acetoxy groups are in equatorial orientation. The effects in several cases result in equatorial protons giving their signal to higher field than chemically similar but axial protons. The conformational properties of pentopyranose tetraacetates as estimated from chemical shifts and coupling constants are seen to be in good agreement with expectations based on non-bonding interaction free energies. As expected, 2-deoxy-β-D-ribopyranose triacetate has the 1C-conformation when dissolved in chloroform.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of indolizine, indolizine-1,3-d2, 1- and 2-methylindolizine, 2,3-, 2,5-, 2,6-, and 2,7-dimethylindolizine and 1-, 2-, and 3-azaindolizine have been determined at 100 and/or 60 Mc/s. Unequivocal assignments have been made to all protons and the coupling constants and chemical shifts for indolizine and its aza analogues have been obtained by an iterative procedure. Long-range coupling constants involving protons separated by five and six bonds have been observed.

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 long-range spin–spin coupling constant over six bonds between the 19F nucleus and the 13C nucleus in the side chain,6J(C,F), is reported for 4—F—C6H4—X—R, where X = O, S and R = CH3, CH2CH3, CH(CH3)2 and C(CH3)3 and 6J(C,F) depends on sin2 θ, where θ is the angle by which the side chain twists out-of-plane about the [Formula: see text] bond. Expectation values of sin2 θ are obtained from 6J(C,F), yielding magnitudes of the apparent twofold barrier to rotation about the [Formula: see text] bond. In these terms, the most stable conformation is that for θ = 0° for all compounds, with the exception of R = C(CH3)3 and of X = S, R = CH(CH3)2; there is effectively free rotation about the [Formula: see text] bond in isopropyl 4-fluorophenyl sulfide in acetone-d6 solution. Good correlations exist between 6J(C,F) and a number of other molecular properties, including certain differences of ionization potentials of the molecular orbitals in the ethers. In particular, the chemical shifts of C-4 are correlated with 6J(C,F). Because 5J(C,C), the coupling constant involving C-4, also depends on sin2 θ, it is measured for the methyl and ethyl selenides and tellurides, as are other 13C,13C couplings involving a 13C nucleus in the side chain. The literature values for the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts in alkyl phenyl selenides and tellurides can be related to θ preferences and also allow estimates of the extrema in 5J(C,C). The resultant values of arcsin [Formula: see text] for R = CH3 are in good agreement with estimates of θ obtained from electron diffraction patterns, photoelectron spectra, and nuclear magnetic resonance in the nematic phase.

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 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.
