The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of a series of substituted benzalmalononitriles were examined in various solvents. The chemical shifts for the olefinic protons are susceptible to large solvent effects which are interpreted as arising from association of a solvent molecule with the olefinic proton (acetone) or a site in its vicinity (benzene). With acetone this leads to a downfield shift from values observed in chloroform. In benzene solution the association produces increased shielding and is present in addition to a second solvation complex, the arrangement of which is governed by the substituent. The difference in behavior of the ethylenic proton in benzalmalononitriles from the formyl proton in benzaldehyde is ascribed to its more highly acidic nature.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of benzal compounds, Z—C6H4—CH=C(X)Y, have been determined in carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, acetone, and benzene solutions. Group X, trans to the ring, was one of NO2, COOEt, COCH3, CONH2, the series comprising mostly para-substituted (Z=NO2, Cl, H, Me, OMe, NMe2) β-nitrostyrenes, β-alkyl-β-nitrostyrenes, cinnamates, cyanocinnamates, malonates, acetoacetates, acetylacetones, and cyanocinnamides. The ambiguity in the assignments to the olefinic protons in the β-nitrostyrenes was resolved by studying deuterated compounds. The solvent shifts for the aromatic protons are shown to be additive, the olefinic side chains and the ring substituents making characteristic contributions. The solvent effect for the aromatic protons ortho to the side chain is most affected by variation of the latter and, when large, may contribute to the effect at the olefinic protons. The β-nitrostyrenes show the largest solvent shifts for the olefinic protons, and the reasons for the more marked effects at the β-proton are discussed.
