The 13C nmr chemical shifts of aliphatic hydrocarbons were derived from chemical shifts and probabilities of individual chain conformations. Conformer resonances were calculated with parameters developed for conformationally homogeneous cyclic molecules. Conformer populations were derived from bond rotation potentials and steric energy contributions, available from independent sources. This analysis contains non adjustable parameters. It represents a unified treatment of cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbon resonances, which is capable of dealing with molecular asymmetry and thus permits the determination of configuration in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract A small library of 6-substituted syringyl model compounds with aliphatic, carboxylic, phenylic, benzylic alcohols and brominated substituents were prepared. The influence of the substituents on the chemical shifts of the compounds was analyzed. All of model compounds showed a characteristic increase in the 13C NMR chemical shift of the methoxy group vicinal to the substitution. This 13C NMR peak and its corresponding correlation peak in HSQC could potentially be used to identify 6-condensation in syringylic lignin samples.

A semiempirical approach for predicting 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts of acyclic hydrocarbons has been adapted to a microcomputer program. A series of methyl and dimethyl substituted cholesterols has been studied using this program, and the predicted shifts are in agreement with literature reports. Preferred conformations of the steroidal side chains have been also predicted and agree with previous studies. A simple rule for analyzing the trends in the chemical shift of the carbon C-20, which is sensitive to changes in the configuration at C-22, is also given, not only for hydrocarbon side chains but also for hydroxy substituted compounds.

13C-nmr spectra of carbon dioxide in water are reported for a wide range in pH. Chemical shifts were determined for the following species: CO2(g), CO2(aq), HCO3−(aq), CO32−(aq). A linear relationship was found between the shift of the 13C line and the fraction of carbonate ion calculated to be present, as well as between the ratio of the area under the 1067 cm−1 (carbonate) Raman peak to the sum of the area under the 1067 cm−1 and 1017 cm−1 (bicarbonate) peaks and the fraction carbonate.

The 13C NMR spectra of a series of 5,6-epoxides in decalinic systems were studied. The interpretation of the chemical shifts allowed us to formulate an empirical rule to predict the epoxide stereochemistry. A discussion of the scope and limitations of this method and its extension to larger carbon skeletons is also presented.Key words: epoxide stereochemistry, 13C NMR, NMR, decalinic systems, oxiranes.

A previous study of the effect of meta- and para-CH2X substituents on the 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of the α and β side-chain carbons of β- methoxycarbonylstyrenes (methyl cinnamates ) in ethanol has been extended to cover five additional solvents (Me2SO, Me2CO, CDCl3, CCl4 and C6H6). The results support the earlier claim that, for most substituents , the magnitudes of the substituent -induced shifts are proportional to the inductive effect of X. The major contributor to the latter appears to be the field effect generated by the C-X dipole, with the lines of force passing mainly through the molecule. In non-polar solvents, however, there is evidence that lines of force passing directly through the solvent can also influence the shifts in both the meta and para series.

The 2H/1H isotope effect on 13C nmr chemical shifts, nΔ, n being the number of intervening bonds between 2H and 13C nuclei, in toluene-α-d3 is solvent dependent. For example, 1Δ ranges from 817 ppb in CD3OH to 869 ppb in acetone-d6 solutions, a positive number indicating increased shielding in the deuterated species. 1Δ is linearly dependent on a function of the refractive index, nD, of the solvent, allowing extrapolation to nD = 1. The hyperconjugative model, in which the C—D bond is a poorer electron donor to the aromatic system than is a C—H bond, is tested for the substituents CH2D, CHD2, CD3, CHDCH3, CD2CH3, CD(CH3)2, C6H5CHD, and (C6H5)2CD. For these substituents, the negative 5Δ is linearly related to the expectation value of sin2 θ; θ is the angle by which the C—D bond twists out of the benzene plane. The model fails quantitatively for C6H5CD2X (X = Cl, COOH, CN, OH). For X = OH, very large negative 5Δ and 3Δ values are observed. nΔ is also reported for 4-ethyltoluene-α-d3 and benzaldehyde-α-d1. For the latter, all nΔ values are positive other than 5Δ, which vanishes in acetone-d6 solution.

The identification of aliphatic hydrocarbons containing multiple asymmetric centers can be difficult because of the complexity of the nmr spectra and because in capillary chromatography the diastereomers may be resolved to varying degrees. We suggest that the most effective method for identifying such hydrocarbons is through the pattern of retention times developed by the mixture of diastereomers on a suitable capillary glc column.This paper presents the results of some studies of a series of alkanes having the general form C2H5—(CH—CH3)n—R, where n = 1 to 4, and includes the syntheses and 13C nmr spectra of the compounds.

13C nmr spectra have been obtained for a series of benzene derivatives substituted with phosphorus-containing groups of the type PZ2, P(O)Z2, and P(S)Z2. Inductive and resonance substituent constants were determined from the shielding of meta and para carbon atoms according to the dual-substituent parameter approach. Possible mechanisms of substituent effects of PIII and PV derived functional groups are discussed and in some cases compared with effects of the analogous nitrogen derivatives.
