Dimethoxy aromatic compounds. IV.—determination of stereochemistry of 2,3,6,7-tetraalkoxy-9,10-dihalomethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracenes by13C NMR chemical shifts
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.
The alternative probe pyridine-N-oxide allows the determination of the hydrogen-bond acidity of both neat ionic liquids and their aqueous solutions based on 13C NMR chemical shifts.
