Nuclear magnetic resonance spectral results including chemical shifts, anisotropy effects, spin coupling constants, and hydrogen bonding phenomena are presented for the diastereoisomeric pair of α–β amino alcohols (−)-ephedrine and (+)-Ψ-ephedrine. The results are shown to be in keeping with the existence of a preferred residence conformation for each of the diastereoisomers.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and nJ(13C,13C) are reported for anisole and 16 of its derivatives, all enriched with 13C in the methoxyl group. 5J(13C,13C) is directly proportional to sin2θ, where θ is the angle by which the methoxy group twists about the C(1)—O bond. In acetone-d6 solution, 5J(C,C) is not observable for a number of 4-substituted anisoles, except for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. For the latter, 5J(C,C) is compatible with a twofold barrier of 19.3 ± 1.1 kJ/mol hindering rotation about the C(1)—O bond. However, it is unlikely that the barrier is purely twofold in nature. The observed 5J(C,C) is also compatible with 10.5 and 6.0 kJ/mol for the twofold and fourfold components, respectively, implying a dynamical nuclear magnetic resonance barrier of less than 13 kJ/mol. While phase and solvent effects on the internal barrier in anisole are certainly substantial, it appears that a fourfold component must also be present. The apparent twofold barrier in 2,6-difluoroanisole is 5.4 ± 0.9 kJ/mol, based on 5J(C,C) and 6J(H-4,13C). The latter coupling constant is also reported for 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene and used to deduce its conformation. The θ dependence of 3J(C,C) and 4J(C,C) is briefly discussed for symmetrical anisole derivatives. Differential 13C, 13C isotope shifts are reported for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene.

The proton resonance spectra of pyridine, 2,6-pyridine-d2, 3-pyridine-d1, and 4-pyridine-d1 have been obtained for the pure liquids under conditions of high resolution. The spectra have been analyzed as proton groupings of AB2X2, AB2, perturbed ABX, and B2X2 respectively. The spin-coupling constants obtained from analysis of the simpler spectra of the deuterated molecules were used to suggest trial solutions for the analysis of the complicated AB2X2 spectrum of pyridine. A final set of chemical shifts and spin-coupling constants derived for pyridine give satisfactory agreement between the observed and calculated spectrum.

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra have been obtained and fully assignee for a number of 2-methyl-1-{[p-(methylthio) or -(methylsulfinyl}phenyl]methylene}-1H-indene-3- acetic acid derivatives, including the potent anti-inflammatory compound sulindac, 1Z. Paired E and Z isomers were studied along with the sulindac sodium salt and ethyl ester in the Z series. Variations in steric crowding in E vs. Z isomers produce chemical shift effects which alternate with the number of intervening bonds. Fluorine substituent effects and 19F nuclear spin coupling to 13C nuclei, second-order features in off-resonance proton-decoupled spectra, and values of long-range 13CH nuclear spin coupling constants have been employed in making a complete set of assignments.

l9F and lH nuclear magnetic resonance data are reported for the para and meta fluoro-phenyl and -benzyl mercurials of types R2Hg and RHgX where X is a halide. The 19F data for the fluorophenyl mercurials provide no evidence for direct aryl-mercury conjugation, and mercuri substituents exert very feeble electronic effects. The shielding for the fluorobenzyl mercurials suggests a quite pronounced o-p electron donating effect for the metallomethyl group (NCH2-). Some 199Hg-lH spin coupling constants are derived from the proton spectra of the benzyl mercurials.
