The base-catalyzed hydrogen–deuterium exchange rates for the aromatic and benzylic centers in acenaphthene, 2,3-dihydrophenalene, 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene, 1,1,2,2,-tetramethylacenaphthene, and diphenylmethane have been determined using 13C n.m.r. The exchange rates serve as a probe of carbanion stability and reactivity, clearly indicating the importance of ring strain effects on carbanion stability.

The equilibration of the α,α -diniethyl derivatives of bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone, bicyclo[3.2.1]-oct-2-en-6-one, and its Δ3 isomer has been examined at 155 and 185 °C in tert-BuO−/tert-BuOH. Using 2Hmr spectroscopy the rates and stereoselectivity of hydrogen–deuterium exchange in each of these ketones have been determined for equilibrations with tert-BuOD as solvent. The relative reactivities for exchange at the allylic and vinylic sites compared to the analogous results for the corresponding olefins reveal a significant activating effect of the carbonyl group. Comparison of the data with those for the corresponding saturated ketones shows that the double bond enhances the rate of isomerization appreciably and increases the bias of the equilibrium toward the [3.2.1] skeleton.

The diastereoisomeric pairs of cyclodipeptides cis- and trans-cyclo(Ala-Ala), cyclo(Ala-Phe), cyclo(Val-Val) and cyclo(Leu-Leu) containing 85% 13C enriched amino-acid residues were synthesized and their 13C-13C coupling constants were measured. The combination of 13C-13C and 1H-1H coupling constants enabled to estimate unequivocally the side chain conformation of the valine and leucine residues.
