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.

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 [2.2]meta-, metapara-, and paracyclophanes were determined. By comparing the chemical shifts with those of acyclic models two types of anomalies were revealed.(1) Bridging methylene carbon resonances for [2.2]metacyclophanes having an alkyl group ortho to the bridge were shifted upfield as a result of van der Waals' compression. The upfield shift is much larger (5–12 ppm) for cyclophanes than for models (2–4 ppm) reflecting the rigid nature of the molecular geometry of the former.(2) Interestingly, inner aryl carbon resonances in [2.2]metacyclophanes and protonated aryl carbon resonances in [2.2]paracyclophanes were shifted downfield by 6–7 ppm. The complementary upfield shift of uncompressed atoms, hydrogen or carbon, connected to those carbons was also noticed. The downfield shift of compressed sp2 carbon results from interaction between two p-orbitals along the same orbital axis, p-orbital compression, and is attributable to decreased electron density.

13C nmr chemical shifts for ethylene sulfite and 17 derivatives are presented. From the magnitudes of the γ shifts and the tenets of conformational analysis, support is gained for the existence of twist-envelope conformations in solution. Pseudorotational paths are suggested which do not involve inversion at the sulfur atom.

1H and 13C nmr data for eight phenyl, diphenyl- and di-tert-butyl-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxathianes, substituted at C-4 and/or C-6 are presented. Vicinal couplings obtained from 1H spectra by iterative computer analysis indicate chair geometries for all materials except trans-4,6-disubstituted compounds. 13C chemical shifts are corroborative.

The configuration of the sulfoxide oxygen in syn- and anti-thiobinupharidine sulfoxide was determined by employing the 13C nmr sulfoxidation increments of C-6. Establishment of the 13C nmr line assignments for C-6 included the study of the C-6 and C-6′ deuterated thiobinupharidine and the corresponding sulfoxides. Thermolysis of syn-thiobinupharidine sulfoxide in DMSO and subsequent reduction with sodium borodeuteride in methanol yielded thiobinupharidine, labelled with deuterium only at C-6, and thionuphlutine B, labelled with deuterium at both C-6 and C-6′. Treatment of the anti sulfoxide in xylene or DMSO resulted in no thiobinupharidine or thionuphlutine B. Similarly, syn-neothiobinupharidine sulfoxide gave neothiobinupharidine and a new thiaspirane, thionuphlutine C. These two compounds were not produced from anti-neothiobinupharidine sulfoxide heated in xylene.

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.

The natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a number of spirobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids and related model compounds have been recorded. The carbon resonances of the alkaloids were assigned by comparison with the spectra of other isoquinoline alkaloids and with those of the model compounds. It has been shown that 13C nmr spectroscopy may be used to differentiate between diastereomers in this series.

Abstract A 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopical study is performed on the basis of 37 1,2,3-selena-diazoles. Besides the discussion of chemical shifts and coupling constants of 1H and 13C, selenium satellites were measured providing 1H77 Se and 13C77 Se coupling constants.
