Certain ortho-substituted acetanilides exhibit proton magnetic resonance signals at unusually low field for the amido proton and the aromatic proton adjacent to the acetamido group. This effect, explicable in terms of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, has been observed for nitro, carbonyl, sulfamoyl, and sulfonyl substituents. Solvent effects are discussed.

A series of 2-substituted 3,5-dimethylanilines and their N-acetyl derivatives have been synthesized, and their proton magnetic resonance spectra recorded. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the amide N-H and the 2-substituent is disturbed by steric hindrance of the 2-substituent only in the case of the 2-nitro, 2-acetyl, and 2-methoxycarbonyl substituents.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra of three known diastereoisomers 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-mannitol, 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-L-iditol, and their diacetyl and dimesyl derivatives have been analyzed. The coupling constants obtained have been utilized to determine the conformation of the five-membered rings. Constancy of the couplings between ring protons throughout the series of compounds indicates the existence of one conformation common to all, and this appears to be a composite of the Cs and C2 forms. It is significant that intramolecular hydrogen bonding, which occurs in two of the three diastereoisomers, has little or no effect on ring conformation.

.Proton magnetic resonance spectra of a wide variety of substituted 2-nitro- and 2,4-dinitro-diphenylamines and related compounds reveal that long-range coupling occurs between the NH proton and the 5-proton of the nitrophenyl ring in non-polar or weakly polar solvents. However, in the case of the 2,4-dinitrodiphenyl- amines, this coupling is absent in highly polar solvents, except when the non-nitrated ring carries powerful electron-donating substituents, e.g. methoxyl or dimethylamino, ortho or para (but not meta) to the NH group. An examination of these phenomena leads to the conclusion that such long-range coupling provides evidence that intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between the NH and the 2-nitro groups. N-Benzyl-2,4-dinitroaniline also exhibited similar long-range coupling but, in dimethyl sulphoxide solut'ion, this coupling was temperature-dependent. The chemical shift data of the ortho-nitrodiphenylamines suggest that they adopt a non-planar skew conformation in solution. A six-bond H-F coupling was observed between the fluorine atom and the 6-proton of 2'-fluoro-2,4-dinitrodiphenylamine.
