The principle of additivity of substituent chemical shifts (SCS) is applied to the carbon-13 chemical shifts of β carbons (δβ) in a number of 1,1-disubstituted ethylenes and propenes, which includes some α-substituted alkyl vinyl ethers. An additivity relationship is observed for 34 compounds that indicates an independent polarization mechanism across the double bond for each geminal substituent. Positive deviations from additivity are observed for compounds bearing bulky substituents. The magnitude of deviations is taken as an indication of the severity of steric interactions among substituents.Reductions in efficiency of transmission of substituent effects in ring substituted α-phenyl alkyl vinyl ethers, relative to para-substituted styrenes, are interpreted as the result of a variable dihedral angle between the ring and vinyl group. An explanation of the relationship between conformation and transmission of substituent effects is presented as an alternative to existing views. An angular dependence of π-polarization and resonance effects is consistent with the chemical shift data.

The principle of linear free energy relationships was applied to the 1H chemical shifts of the ?-vinyl proton atoms of 3-methylene-2-substituted-1,4-pentadienes. The correlations of the proton chemical shifts with Swain and Lupton substituent parameters provide a mutually consistent picture of the electronic effects in these compounds. The overall pattern of proton chemical shifts can be largely accounted for by a model of substituent effects based on field, resonance and ? polarization effects. Owing to the particular geometric arrangement of the vinyl group in 3-methylene-2-substituted-1,4-pentadienes, the ?-vinyl protons HB and HC have different sensitivities to polar and resonance effects. The different sensitivities of the 1H chemical shifts to resonance effects reveals some effects not predicted by the model outlined above. Evidence is presented that demonstrates that both the 1H and 13C chemical shifts for these compounds reflect their ground-state charge densities.

The principles of linear free energy relationships were applied to the 13C substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of the carbon atoms in the unsaturated chain of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4-pentadienes. Correlations of the SCS with the substituent parameters of Swain and Lupton provide a mutually consistent picture of the electronic effects in these compounds. The pattern of the electronic effects can be fully rationalized by a model based on the direct transmission of substituent effects through-space (direct through-space field effects), and via conjugative interactions (resonance effects), or by substituent-induced polarization of the ?-system in the unsaturated chain (?-polarization effect). Semi-empirical MNDO-PM3 calculations suggest the s-cis conformation of 3-methylene-4-substituted-1,4-pentadienes as the one with minimal heat of formation.

The 13C NMR chemical shifts of fifteen 6 substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-diazepinium salts (cis trimethincyanines) (1) and twelve 2 substituted bis(dimethylamino)trimethinium salts (trans trimethincyanines) (2) have been determined. A comparison of the substituentinduced shifts (13C SCS) of 1 and 2 allows no distinction between steric and electronic effects. In the three 6 п-electron systems 1, 2 and monosubstituted benzenes the 13C SCS are similar for the substituent bearing carbon atoms. A surprisingly large 4JFCCNC coupling constant has been observed.

A number of 3- and 4-X-2′,6′-dimethylazobenzenes and 4-X-2,6-dimethylazobenzenes have been prepared, and their 13C N.M.R . Spectra have been measured. Comparison of the effect of X on the 13C N.M.R . chemical shifts for C4′ with that for the corresponding azobenzenes has been used as a probe for exploring the influence of the two introduced ortho-methyl groups on the degree of coplanarity of the azobenzene system and the efficiency of transmission of electronic effects from one ring to the other. The results support previous studies that have suggested that the methyl groups have a substantial effect on the planarity of the system, but, surprisingly, suggest that such loss of planarity has relatively little effect on the efficiencies of transmission of both polar and resonance effects between the two rings.

Thirteen biphenyl analogues of α-cyanochalcones IIa-IIm were prepared by condensation of p-phenylbenzoylacetonitrile (I) with p-substituted benzaldehydes. Their 13C NMR chemical shifts were measured and correlated with the Hammett parameters (σ, σ+) and the Swain-Lupton reactivity parameters. A consistent picture of the transmission of the substituent (electronic) effects through the carbon skeleton of the studied compounds was obtained. The relationship between the structure of synthetized α-cyanochalcones and their mass spectra is discussed.
