The ring proton spectrum of triptycene (2.2 mole % in CS2) was analyzed after the methine proton was decoupled. The modified ring current model accounts for most of the internal shift. Bond anisotropies and electron density contributions are also present. The latter account for the mean proton shift. The agreement between the predicted and calculated shifts is excellent for the proton meta to the methine substituent, but a discrepancy of 0.1 p.p.m. is found for the ortho proton. Correction for the ring anisotropy effects produces excellent agreement of the methine proton shift with the empirical correlation between the C—H proton shifts and the 13C–H coupling constants. The ring proton–proton coupling constants are little different from those in benzene, but a small strain in the bonds near the methine carbons is implied.

At room temperature the proton magnetic resonance spectrum of α,α-dichloro-2,4,6-tribromotoluene is ABX where the methine proton in the sidechain is X and is lying in the plane of the aromatic ring. At higher temperatures the ring proton spectrum, AB, broadens and eventually collapses to yield an A2X spectrum. From an analysis of the ring proton line shapes the barrier to rotation of the dichloromethyl group about the sp2–sp3 carbon–carbon bond is obtained; ΔG* = 17.5 ± 0.1 kcal/mole at 304°K, ΔH* = 15.67 ± 0.08 kcal/mole, ΔS* = −7 e.u., Ea = 16.38 ± 0.08 kcal/mole, log A = 11.78 ± 0.23 where the least squares errors given should probably be multiplied by a factor of from 3 to 5 to take possible systematic errors into account. The barrier is about 2 kcal/mole higher than in α,α,2,4,6-pentachlorotoluene. The barrier to rotation arises from the conformation in which chlorine and bromine atoms are eclipsed.

The 100 MHz spectra of the phenyl protons in 2-(3-chlorophenyl) oxetane and 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane have been analysed. The 60 MHz PMR chemical shifts and proton-proton coupling constants have been studied in the temperature range from -20 C to +80 °C. The chemical shifts were sensitive to temperature, while the coupling constants were not, except the long range 5Jm coupling constant between the methine proton and the meta positioned phenyl proton in 2-(2-chlorophenyl) oxetane.

The proton magnetic resonance spectrum of the tetrahydropyranyl ether of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol has been measured in several solvents and at different temperatures. Analysis of the ABX3 pattern produced by the trifluoroethyl group revealed a unique feature. Under all conditions, it was found that the vicinal coupling constants JAX and JBX had different magnitudes. This non-equivalence is interpreted as evidence that the C—HA and C—HB bonds of the trifluoroethyl group differ electronically. A possible relation between this finding and the anomeric effect is discussed. In contrast to the above results, the tetrahydropyranyl ether of ethanol showed equal vicinal proton–proton coupling constants in the ethyl group.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.

The conformational behaviour of a series of N-substituted thiohydantoins of proline was studied by proton NMR. The pseudorotational parameters of the proline moiety were calculated from the ten vicinal proton-proton coupling constants assuming a two state equilibrium (N ⇋ S). The effect of the different substituents (methyl, phenyl, para-nitrophenyl) at the thiohydantoin nitrogen on the conformation of the pyrrolidine rings is discussed. The spectra of proline-N-methylthiohydantoin were recorded at different temperatures in octadeuterotoluene solution. The conformational analysis of these spectra showed that the ratio of the populations of the N and S forms changes considerably with temperature, while the conformational identity of both the N and S forms remains strictly preserved. These facts provide an additional experimental justification of the two-state assumption, at least so for the present model compounds.

At −40 °C the C—H bond of the dichloromethyl group of α,α,2,6-tetrachlorotoluene lies in the plane of the ring. The proton resonance spectrum demonstrates a stereospecific five-bond coupling between the C—H proton and the ring proton in the meta position. The coupling to the para proton is essentially zero as expected from a hyperconjugative mechanism. The free energy of activation of rotation of the dichloromethyl group is about 15 kcal/mole at 25 °C.
