The conformational preferences in CCl4 solution at 32 °C of the hydroxyl groups in bromine derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene are deduced from the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons over five bonds. Two hydroxyl groups hydrogen bond to the same bromine substituent in 2-bromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene but prefer to hydrogen bond to different bromine substituents when available, as in 2,4-dibromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene. When the OH groups can each choose between two ortho bromine atoms, as in 2,4,6-tribromoresorcinol, they apparently do so in a very nearly statistical manner except that they avoid hydrogen bonding to the common bromine atom.
