The effect of para-substituents on the geminal coupling constants in benzylic methylene groups has been studied as a function of the conformation at the benzene—CH2 bond. The slopes of Hammett plots of Jgemvs. σ are large (−1.6 to −1.9) when the geometry permits a hyperconjugative interaction between the benzene ring and the methylene group but negligible (+ 0.2) when this interaction is geometrically restricted. The effect of a change in electronegativity of the group attached to the methylene carbon has also been investigated. The change in the slope, ρ, from −1.7 to −1.6 on protonation of the nitrogen attached to the methylene group in a series of isoindolines shows this effect to be extremely small. Solvent effects on ρ are also very small. The potential of this J − σ relation for conformational analysis of benzyl groups is discussed in comparison with existing methods.

The effect of substituents at the 3-position in a series of N-methyl 5,6-dihydro-7H,12H-di-benzo[c,f]azocines on the geminal coupling constants of the C-12 methylene protons has been determined. The slope of the Hammett plot of 2J vs. σ has been found to be +0.20. The orientation of the methylene protons with respect to the π orbitals of the benzene ring bearing the substituent is such that no hyperconjugative effect should be present. The value of +0.20 is in contrast to a previously measured slope of −1.9 for compounds having a geometry ideal for hyperconjugative effects and substantiates the predictions of theoretical MO calculations. As a result, the reliability of this conformational dependence of ρ for use in conformational analysis has been strengthened.A comparison of the data for the azocines with those in the literature indicates the difference between the minimum and maximum effects of a phenyl substituent on a geminal coupling constant of an attached methylene group is 5.5 Hz.

A series of 2-benzyloxytetrahydropyrans bearing substituents at the ortho, meta, and para positions of the benzene ring have been synthesized. From the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of each compound, the geminal coupling constant (J) between the non-equivalent protons of the benzylic methylene group was determined. The geminal coupling constant for the methylene group of several benzyl sulfoxides was also measured. In the ether series it was found that J varied from 11.1 to 13.3 c.p.s. and was directly proportional to the Hammett σ value for the meta and para substituents. In the sulfoxides, however, J was unaffected by the substituent. On the basis of the molecular orbital theory of geminal coupling constants and steric considerations, it is proposed that the sensitivity of J to the substituent effect is dependent upon the conformation of the molecules with respect to the Ar—CH2 bond. The potential utility of this relation as a method of conformational analysis is discussed.

By making use of specific solvent effects it has been possible to vary the relative chemical shift between the geminal protons of vinyl bromide from about +10 cycles/sec to −4 cycles/sec (at 60 Mc/sec) and to study the resultant changes in the proton resonance spectrum in the limiting region of zero chemical shift. Of particular interest is the growth and displacement of the combination lines, which appear in the resonance signals of the proton bonded to the same carbon atom as the bromine. From the variation of the six possible lines in this region it was confirmed that the cis and trans proton coupling constants must have the same sign. The intensity distribution of the lines in the geminal proton region require the geminal coupling constant to be of opposite sign to the other two.

Hammett Σ Constants

The geminal coupling constants between the non-equivalent benzylic protons of a series of para- and meta-substituted N-benzyl-2-methylpiperidines were shown to be proportional to the Hammett σ constants of the substituents with ρ −1.38 in carbon tetrachloride, −1.21 in benzene, and nearly 0 in 1 N DCl solutions. The ρ values were compared with those of other series and were discussed in terms of the possible conformations involved. The chemical shifts of the benzylic protons of the piperidine derivatives did not give a good correlation with the Hammett σ constants in these solvents.
