An additivity scheme based on the changes in ortho, meta, and para proton coupling constants of benzene induced by a single substituent is applied to a number of trisubstituted benzenes. Ortho coupling constants are well reproduced (root mean square deviations = 0.05 c.p.s.) by the scheme but for meta and para couplings saturation effects are indicated. For the latter two couplings there are two substituents ortho to one of the protons involved. Measurements indicate that a temperature range of 100 °C has a negligible effect on the couplings but that polar solvents are to be avoided in obtaining data for the testing of additivity schemes.

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 geminal coupling constants between the non-equivalent benzylic protons of a series of para- and meta-substituted N-benzyl-2-methylpiperidines were shown to be proportional to the Hammett σ constants of the substituents with ρ −1.38 in carbon tetrachloride, −1.21 in benzene, and nearly 0 in 1 N DCl solutions. The ρ values were compared with those of other series and were discussed in terms of the possible conformations involved. The chemical shifts of the benzylic protons of the piperidine derivatives did not give a good correlation with the Hammett σ constants in these solvents.

Abstract Four-bond proton-proton coupling constants in allenes are reported. The substituent effects on the coupling constants are discussed on the basis of the dual-substituent parameter approach. Furthermore, the coupling constants are related to quantum-chemical indices (electron densities, overlap populations) obtained from semiempirical CNDO/S and ab initio STO-3G calculations.The magnitudes of the coupling constants depend upon the polar natures of the substituents as well as upon their charge-transfer abilities (resonance effects) to a com-parable amount.In general, the coupling constants in 1,3-disubstituted allenes are nonadditive in ligand -specific parameters.

Transoid homoallylic coupling constants (5JH,H) for six compounds (5,10-dihydroindeno[2,1-alindene and confertifolin derivatives) of fixed stereochemistry were determined and compared with calculated values. Magnetic equivalence limited discrete determination of 5Jtrans and 5Jcis to three of these compounds. The single compound where unequivocal assignment could be made revealed 5Jtrans > 5Jcis; this was supported in two other compounds by tentative assignment. Changes in the magnitude of the couplings suggested that substantial substituent effects may be operative. INDO-MO calculations correctly predicted the angular dependence but incorrectly predicted 5Jcis > 5Jtrans.

Vicinal carbon–proton coupling constants have been determined for a series of tert-butyl derivatives and compared to the vicinal proton–proton coupling constants in the analogous series of isopropyl derivatives. In both series coupling constants were found to decrease with electronegativity of substituent, with 3JC,H decreasing more rapidly than 3JH,H. The relationship between the two types of coupling was found to be JC,H = 1.2JH,H − 3.5. The regular change in the ratio of JC,H to JH,H indicates that substituent effects can be useful in predicting carbon–proton coupling constants from proton–proton models.

A linear correlation of the geminal coupling constants of benzylic protons with the Hammett σ constants has been observed. The proton–proton coupling was made observable by preparing the tetrahydropyranyl ethers of benzyl alcohols. The introduction of the asymmetric center caused the benzyl protons to become non-equivalent. The observed correlation serves as an additional confirmation of the Pople and Bothner-By theory of geminal coupling.
