The p.m.r. spectra of dilute solutions of 1,2,3-tribromopropane in carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxide as well as of the neat compound are examined. From the three- and four-bond spin–spin coupling constants and from a comparison between observed and calculated dipole moments it is concluded that in nonpolar solvents the title compound exists preferably in the enantiomeric conformations a and i. In polar solvents other rotamers contribute to the equilibrium but still seem to play only a minor role. Semiempirical calculations of conformational energies rule out contributions to the conformational equilibrium from rotamers having (1:3) bromine–bromine interactions, but otherwise are only in moderate agreement with experiment.

A p.m.r. study of the pyridinealdehydes shows that accurate spectral analysis yields long-range spin–spin coupling constants which are a precise measure of the conformational equilibria in solution. Thus, in CS2 solution the ON-trans form of 2-pyridinealdehyde is more stable than the ON-cis form by at least 2.3 kcal/mol, while in acetone solution it is 1.6 kcal/mol more stable than the cis form. Classical solvation theory allows the conclusion that in the gas phase the trans form is more stable than the cis form by about 7 kcal/mol, in contradiction to the predictions of approximate MO theory at the INDO level. The trans form of 3-pyridinealdehyde is also more stable than the cis form in polar and in nonpolar solvents. The results are compared with those of other experiments on these equilibria.

Evidence is adduced, mainly from proton chemical shift and long-range coupling constant data, that the anti isomer of 2-furanaldoxime exists almost exclusively in the s-cis form in solution, independently of the type of intermolecular association that occurs. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding apparently is absent in this isomer. Similarly, the syn isomer exists in roughly equal mixtures of s-cis and s-trans forms in solvents of widely different polarities. A variety of nuclear spin–spin coupling constants are calculated via the INDO and CNDO molecular orbital approximations, as are the dipole moments and conformational energies, for 2-furanaldehyde and its oximes. On the whole the experimental trends are well reproduced by the computations.

Spin-spin coupling constants between the methine proton in the oxetane ring and the phenyl protons and carbon nuclei have been calculated in different conformations in the INDO approximation for 2-phenyloxetane and 2-(4-fluorophenyl) oxetane, and in the CNDO approximation for 2-(2- chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane. In each case the finite perturbation method has been used. In the case of 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane a fairly high energy barrier for the rotation around the C-C bond between the rings is obtained, while in the other three cases the barrier is much lower. The calculations predict an equilibrium conformation in which the oxygen atom lies almost in the plane of the aromatic ring. The calculated dipole moments of 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane vary significantly with conformation.

The calculation of NMR parameters for natural products was pioneered by Bifulco and coworkers in 2002. Since then, modelling 1H and 13C chemical shifts and spin-spin coupling constants for this...
