Cyclialkylation of naphthalene with 2,2,5,5-tetramethyltetrahydrofuranone yielded 2-keto-1,1,4,4-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracene (1). Selenium dioxide oxidation of 1 yielded the corresponding diketone (3) and periodate cleavage of 3 yielded 2,3-naphthalene-diisobutyric acid (4). Hydride reduction of the dimethyl ester (6) of 4 yielded the diol, β,β′-dihydroxy-2,3-di-t-butylnaphthalene (7). The relative chemical shifts of aromatic protons of 1,2,4,5-tetraalkylbenzenes containing gem dimethyls are rationalized in terms of compression effects exerted by the bulky ortho groups. Nuclear magnetic resonance and ultraviolet spectral results for the ortho di-t-butyl aromatic derivatives 4, 6, and 7 are compared to the model cyclic compounds 1 and anhydride (5) of 4 in terms of the strain caused by bond angle deformations in the side chains.

1,1,4,4-Tetramethyltetralone (I) was converted by oxidative procedures into o-phenylene-diisobutyric acid (III). Hydride reduction of the dimethyl ester of III yielded β,β′-dihydroxy-o-di-t-butylbenzene (IV). The ditosylate of IV was converted by hydride reduction into o-di-t-butylbenzene (VI) (44%) together with rearrangement products. Ultraviolet spectral evidence indicated a slight distortion of the benzene ring in VI and its various side chain derivatives. Side reactions were encountered in the synthesis of III, which involved the conversion of this acid by periodate or lead tetraacetate oxidation into a lactone (X) and the anhydride (XI). A mechanism is postulated to account for the formation of X. The structures postulated for the various compounds were confirmed by n. m. r. spectral studies.

Abstract The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the DDT class of pesticides and related compounds are discussed, including a study of the resonances of the aromatic protons as they are affected by various substiluents. The CCl3 moiety on the α-carbon strongly deshields the ortho protons on the aromatic rings, and this deshielding effect is greatly enhanced by substitution of a chlorine ortho rather than para on the aromatic ring. These deshielding effects are explained by a consideration of the electronegativity of the substituents and the stereochemistry of the molecule. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are tabulated.

The proton chemical shifts of aromatic compounds are strongly concentration dependent. Moreever, for molecules with a dipole moment a temperature dependence of the proton chemical shifts is observed. For hemellitone, p-methylanisole, o-chlortoluene, p-chlortoluene, pyrrole and N-methyl-pyrrole the enthalpies of a dipole-dipole association between -0,7 and -1,8 Kcal could be estimated by NMR measurements combined with the temperature dependence in the whole range of the molefraction (0 → 1).

Carbon-13 and proton chemical shifts have been measured for several monosubstituted isothiazoles. Substituent effects upon these chemical shifts are compared with those observed for monosubstituted benzenes, pyridines, and thiophenes. In general the observed substituent effects in the isothiazoles and thiophenes closely parallel one another. Correlations between the observed carbon-13 Chemical shifts and CNDO/2 calculated charge densities are examined.
