Spin Spin Coupling

On the basis of the observed spin–spin coupling constants between the sulfhydryl and ring protons and a hindered rotor treatment of the twofold barrier to internal rotation in a series of para substituted benzenethiol derivatives, it is argued that V2 is essentially zero in p-amino-benzenethiol and is 2.5 ± 0.2 kcal/mol in p-nitrobenzenethiol; having intermediate values for the methoxy, fluoro, methyl, and bromo derivatives in solution. The results are based on an assumed relationship between the four-bond and the fictitious six-bond couplings to the sulfhydryl proton. The conclusions are consistent with the observed magnitudes of the couplings over six and seven bonds, respectively, between the sulfhydryl proton and the fluorine nucleus and the methyl protons in the appropriate derivatives; as well as with the coupling between the sulfhydryl and methyl protons in 4-bromo-3-methylbenzenethiol. The experimental barriers are compared with ab initio molecular orbital calculations of their substituent dependence.

A series of ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out on phosphacumulene ylides of the type H3P = C = C = X where X = S, O, CNH, and (OH)2. The variation in the P-C-C bond angle was examined and compared to the experimentally determined structures of analogs. The dominant factor in setting the P-C-C angle was found to be the relative π-acceptor capability of the C = X fragment in the plane of the bending motion. Quantitative PMO-arguments were constructed for the X = S, O and (OH)2 cases along this line. It is also shown, that P-C σ* character mixes into the highest occupied molecular orbital. The magnitude of this effect is dictated by the amount of bending and this strongly influences the 1JP-C nuclear spin coupling constants. Finally, the bending in H3P = C = PH3 was also investigated in a similar manner.

Spin Spin Coupling

Molecular orbital calculations, at the INDO level, of the spin–spin coupling constants over three bonds between carbon-13 and protons are reported for a number of simple molecules. In propane the coupling depends on dihedral angle in the Karplus manner. Fluorine substituents cause changes in the computed coupling which are best described as alternating with the number of bonds intervening between the substituent and the coupled nuclei. Finer details of this phenomenon are discussed and calculations on propyllithium are performed. Replacement of a central carbon atom in propane by a heteroatom does not radically alter the computed couplings. The presence of a carbonyl group in the coupling path results in an overestimate of the magnitude of the coupling. In propene the coupling between 13C in position 1 and a methyl proton displays a maximum when the C—H bond of the methyl group lies parallel to the π orbitals. In toluene the coupling to a methyl proton is insensitive to the dihedral angle over half its range, a result of importance to structural studies. Among other molecules under consideration are methylacetylene, propionaldehyde, and the strained bicyclobutane. It is suggested that in certain instances the mean of the predictions from the INDO and CNDO/2 procedures may agree better with experiment than will the prediction from either procedure alone. Calculations on fluorobenzene and 1,2-difluorobenzene suggest that the main experimental trends of the couplings between carbon and protons within the benzene ring are reproduced. Such is perhaps not true for the five-membered heterocycles.

The mechanisms of long-range spin–spin coupling constants involving the methylene protons and the 13C nucleus of the cyano group are discussed for benzyl cyanide. Analysis of the 1H nmr spectrum of benzyl cyanide-8-13C in benzene-d6 solution yields nJ(H,CH2) and nJ(H,13CN) for n = 4–6. Similar data are reported for the 2,6-dichloro and 2,6-difluoro derivatives, together with some sign determinations. nJ(13C,13CN), n = 1–5, are given for the three compounds. It is shown that all these parameters are consistent with a small barrier to internal rotation about the [Formula: see text] bond in benzyl cyanide in solution. Computations at various levels of molecular orbital theory agree that this barrier is small. The nJ(13C, 13CN) imply a stabilization in polar solvents of the conformation in which the cyano group of benzyl cyanide lies in a plane perpendicular to the benzene plane. The molecular orbital calculations indicate a predominantly twofold nature of the internal barrier, although a significant fourfold component is also present. The coupling constants cannot discern the presence of the fourfold component for benzyl cyanide nor for its 2,6-difluoro derivative. 1J(13C,13CN) is solvent dependent. A table of the computed sidechain geometries is appended.

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.

Precise analyses of the proton and some fluorine magnetic resonance spectra in acetone solution are reported for the three monofluorobenzaldehydes as well as for 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde and for 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzaldehyde. The conformational dependence of the coupling parameters allows the measurement of energy differences between the O-cis and O-trans conformations. The energy differences are in better agreement with the INDO predictions than they are with energies derived from i.r. data. Di-pole moments are computed reliably and their measurement is suggested as a good guide to conformational preferences for molecules of this kind. The spin–spin coupling constants between the aldehyde proton and the ring protons and fluorine nuclei are computed for benzaldehyde and the three monofluorobenzaldehydes by the INDO and CNDO molecular orbital approximations. In many instances the agreement between calculated and observed couplings is quantitative.
