The long-range coupling constants between amino protons and the ring proton or fluorine nucleus in the para position of aniline and p-fluoroaniline imply that, in benzene solution, the geometry at the amino group is very similar in the two compounds. The ratio of the two coupling constants is consistent with potential functions for inversion at nitrogen derived from far infrared data, but inconsistent with microwave spectra which indicate that the angle defining the intersection of the amino and benzene planes differs by 9° in these two compounds.

The high resolution p.m.r. spectra of 1-penten-3-yne in carbon disulfide and in benzene solution are analyzed. Long-range spin–spin coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron contributions. Comparisons are made with the isomeric 2-methyl-1-buten-3-yne and the parent compound, vinylacetylene. The results of INDO and CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculations are compared to the experimental coupling constants. It is concluded that the π electron contribution to 5J in enyne systems is +0.6 to 0.7 Hz and that σ electron contributions are rather small, the transoid ("pseudo-zig–zag") being larger than the cisoid one. Observed allylic coupling constants in the propene derivative are compared with the calculated values, including those for propene and 2-cyanopropene, available in the literature.

Long-range spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the two amino protons and the ring protons are reported for some ortho disubstituted aniline derivatives in cyclohexane and benzene-d6 solutions. Equal coupling of both amino protons to the meta protons in unsymmetrically ortho disubstituted aniline derivatives indicates the occurrence of intramolecular exchange of the amino protons. The absence of any observable coupling over six bonds to the para proton places an upper limit on the degree of nonplanarity of the amino group in the 2,6-dibromo- and 2,6-dichloroanilines. A relatively basic compound like 2,4,6-trimethylaniline does not display long-range couplings of the amino protons, very likely because intermolecular proton exchange occurs.

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the α-proton in the side chain and the protons in the heterocycle in 2-vinylfuran, in its β-nitro and β-aldehydic derivatives, and in 2-vinylthiophene are used to demonstrate the preponderance of the s-trans conformers in polar and nonpolar solutions. These conclusions are compared with predictions made by molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G, INDO, CNDO/2, and MINDO/3 levels. Long-range coupling constants between the protons in the side chain and protons in the heterocycle are calculated by CNDO/2 and INDO–MO–FPT and are compared with experiment. It is concluded that the five-bond couplings involving the α-proton are most sensitive to conformation and that they are transmitted mainly via a σ electron mechanism. The other long-range coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron mechanisms. The STO-3G calculations yield barriers to internal rotation of greater than 4.8 kcal/mol.

The 1H nmr spectral parameters are extracted for a 4 mol% solution of 2-methylthiobenzaldehyde in CCl4 at 305 K. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the aldehydic and methyl protons are consistent only with a preferred conformation in which all heavy atoms are coplanar, as are the chemical shifts of the ring and methyl protons. This conclusion contradicts previous interpretations of the dipole moment, the nmr parameters, and of the infrared data for CCl4 solutions. The present data show that the O-syn and O-anti forms of the compound are present in roughly equal proportions.
