Under solvolytic conditions I-phenylpropan-1-01 and its p-methyl and p-methoxy derivatives gave 1 -arylprop- 1 -enes. 1 -(3,4-Dimethoxypheny1)propan- 1-01 behaved similarly, but in addition gave the known propene dimer di-isohomogenol (di-isoeugenol dimethyl ether). Ring-proton coupling constants (J 7.3 and 9.2 CIS) appear consistent with a staggered trans-trans-configuration for this dimer,$ in agreement with earlier interpretations of chemical evidence. 1-(2,4,6-Trimethoxy- pheny1)propan-1-01 proved very reactive and gave the symmetrical dibenzyl ether under very mild acid catalysis, but with higher acid concentration it gave the prop-1-ene accompanied by a 1,l-diarylpropane formed by electrophilic displace- ment of the propan-1-01 side-chain. Tetralin-1-01 and cis- and trans-tetralin-1,2-diols, which lack activating aromatic substituents, were stable towards methanolic acetic acid (3%) or hydrogen chloride (3%). 6-Methoxytetralin-1-01, however, gave 1,6-dimethoxytetralin with methanolic 0.001% acetic acid, but with higher tetra101 concentration it gave the symmetrical bis-tetralyl ether. 6-Methoxytetralin-1-01 gave 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxynaphthalene and its known dimer when heated with methanolic hydrogen chloride (1%). Nuclear magnetic resonance showed that the tetralins are conformationally mobile, and the spectra were consistent with rapid interconversion of two half-chair conformations. 3-Phenyltetralin-1-01 (tetralin analogue of flavan-3-01) was obtained in the l,3-cis-form and existed in the confor- mationally stable half-chair form with both substituents equatorial. Spin-spin coupling constants of cis- and trans-carbonates of tetralin-1,2-diols are close to values recorded for their flavandiol analogues.

Abstract It is shown that substituent effects on one-bond and long-range carbon-proton coupling constants in monosubstituted allenes parallel quantitatively ab initio STO-3G carbon 2s-hydrogen 1 s overlap populations, irrespectively of whether the substituents are bonded to the allenic skeleton via first-row (C, O) or second-row (Si, S, Cl) atoms.

The proton magnetic spectra of cis and trans-2-chlorovinylmercuric chloride, bis(trans-2-chlorovinyl)mercury, and methylethynylmercury have been determined. Large variations in the 199Hg-1H spin-spin coupling constants are observed for different hybridization states and different geometries.

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants between the hydroxyl proton and the ring protons for 2-iodophenol in various solvents yield some free energy differences between the cis and trans conformations of this molecule at 305 K. Comparison with areas of the hydroxyl stretching bands in the same or similar solvents shows that the ratio of the absorptivity coefficients for the two conformers is sensitive to solvent. It is suggested that this ratio is temperature dependent and therefore apparent enthalpy differences must be considered tentative for at least some solutions. Molecular orbital calculations are consistent with the arguments concerning the absorptivity coefficients.

The chemical shifts and the ring proton coupling constants of various substituted carbethoxypyrroles are reported.The electron-withdrawing effect of the carbethoxy groups shifts the resonances of the ring substituents to low field while the inductive and mesomeric effects of the methyl groups shift the resonances to higher field. The deshielding effect is more pronounced with 2-carbethoxypyrroles than for 3-carbethoxypyrroles. The ring proton spin–spin coupling constants depend on the nature of substituents and increase with the electronegativity of the substituents. In some cases long-range coupling between the methyl side-chain protons and ring protons could be observed.

The carbon-13 satellite peaks in the proton magnetic resonance spectra of 1,3-dioxole and bis-1,3-dioxolyl are analyzed under single and double resonance conditions to yield the signs and magnitudes of proton–proton coupling constants over three, four, and five bonds, and of proton–carbon-13 coupling constants over one, two, and three bonds. The conformational behavior of bis-1,3-dioxolyl contrasts sharply with that of analogous sym-tetrasubstituted ethane derivatives. It is indicated that the two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the ethanic fragment can be used for conformational analysis in a manner similar to vicinal proton–proton couplings. The vicinal three-bond proton–carbon-13 couplings are given for dihedral angles of 180 and 120° and their relative magnitudes are as expected from a Karplus relationship. The two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the olefinic fragment is, at 20.0 Hz, the largest coupling known for such a bond.

The long-range proton–proton coupling constants between the ring protons and the aldehydic proton are reported for a series of para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives. It was found that JoH,CHO < 0 and JmH,CHO > 0. Furthermore, JoH,CHO increases in magnitude as the electron donating power of the sub-stituent increases. A similar trend is observed forJmH,CHO but the ratio of the increase to the magnitude of JmH,CHO is much less than for JoH,CHO. A good correlation is obtained between JoH,CHO and the sub-stituent parameters of Swain and Lupton.The coupling constant data are discussed in terms of σ and π coupling mechanisms and it is concluded that σ electron mechanisms are dominant for both JoH,CHO and JmH,CHO.
