A(1,3) type strain was demonstrated directly from the nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the acyl and nitroso derivatives of 2-methylpiperidine (2 series) and 2,6-cis-dimethylpiperidine (1 series). In these two series, the bulky 2-methyl groups are forced to assume the axial conformation due to a severe A(1,3) interaction in the equatorial conformation. The free energy of activation (ΔG*) for the internal rotation around the N—C and N—N bonds in 1a–1g was determined. The comparison of these (ΔG*) values with those of the corresponding derivatives of dimethylamine indicates the decreases are in the range of 3.6–4.7 kcal/mole which is in fair agreement with the conformational energy of 1,3-diaxial CH3/CH3 interaction. An argument was presented to show that this interaction energy corresponds to the decrease of ΔG* in 1a-1g.

Data derived from the 13C n.m.r. spectra of seven neutral cis-dimethylplatinum(II) derivatives of the type cis-(CH3)2PtL2 and cis-(CH3)2Pt(L—L) (where L and L—L are neutral donors) are discussed and compared with data derived from the 1H n.m.r. spectra of the complexes. Simultaneous variations in L or L—L reveal that the n.m.r. trans-influence rather than the n.m.r. cis-influence is dominant. The suggestion that the n.m.r. cis- and trans-influences may be additive is discussed. In contrast with data obtained by other workers, it is shown that the 1JCH values of the platinum methyl groups are essentially insensitive to variations in the remaining ligands.

At −40 °C the C—H bond of the dichloromethyl group of α,α,2,6-tetrachlorotoluene lies in the plane of the ring. The proton resonance spectrum demonstrates a stereospecific five-bond coupling between the C—H proton and the ring proton in the meta position. The coupling to the para proton is essentially zero as expected from a hyperconjugative mechanism. The free energy of activation of rotation of the dichloromethyl group is about 15 kcal/mole at 25 °C.

Ethyl-3-amino-2-benzoyl-2-butenoate crystallizes from pentane as either the E (mp 82–84 °C) or the Z-isomer (mp 95.5–96.5 °C). The E isomer is less stable, and changes spontaneously into the Z, which bas been identified by X-ray crystallography. The structure is characterised by an N–H/ester CO hydrogen bond and a very long C2—C3 bond (1.39 Å). Nuclear magnetic resonance methods have been used to measure the rate of [Formula: see text] isomerization at several temperatures, leading to the estimate that the free energy of activation at 268 K is 56 ± 8 kJ.

The 29Si chemical shifts of several trimethyl silyl derivatives of amines and amides are measured and compared to other chemical and theoretical properties such as the basicities or the electronic charge on the nitrogen or the hydrogen of the N-H group of the amine or the amide. Whereas the 29Si chemical shift of saturated amines can be rationalized in terms of substituent effects, the shifts of aromatic amines show some dependency on the basic character of the amine. There seems to be little correlation between 29Si chemical shifts and electronic charge, but there is a similarity of 29Si with 1H chemical shifts of the NH group, which is interpreted as depending on anisotropy effects.
