In solution the 2-fluoro-5-chloro-, 2-fluoro-6-chloro-3-nitro-, 2-fluoro-6-chloro-5-nitro-, and 2,4,5-trichloro-benzalchlorides prefer conformations in which the C— bond of the side-chain lies in the plane of the aromatic ring. This C—H bond eclipses that ortho C—X bond (X = H, F, Cl) in which X is smaller than Y = H, F, Cl in the C—Y bond, also ortho to the dichloromethyl group. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between the proton in the side-chain and the ring protons or fluorine nucleus are stereospecific. In particular, the coupling over four bonds between the side-chain proton and the ring fluorine is −0.3 Hz when the C—H and C—F bonds are arranged cis to each other but is −2.5 Hz when these bonds have a transoid planar arrangement.

Spin Spin Coupling

The analysis of the fluorine and proton magnetic resonance spectra of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl fluoride and of 2,5-difluorobenzenesulfonyl fluoride yields the signs and magnitudes of the spin–spin coupling constants containing a through-space component. The coupling between the fluorine nucleus and the methyl protons over five bonds is +1.9 Hz, opposite in sign to the −3.1 Hz observed for the corresponding coupling in 2,6-dimethylbenzoyl fluoride. The difference of 5 Hz is possibly a consequence of the different conformational preference of the SO2F and COF substituents. The coupling over four bonds between the fluorine nucleus on the side chain and that on the ring is +11.6 Hz in 2,5-difluorobenzenesulfonyl fluoride. It is argued that this value indicates a preference of the S—F bond for a plane lying, on average, nearly perpendicular to the benzene ring. Similar indications are noted for pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl fluoride and for pentafluorobenzenesulfinyl fluoride.

Low Energy Conformations

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between protons bonded to silicon and ring protons in C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, C6H5SiH2CH3, C6H5SiHCl2, and C6H5SiH(CH3)2 are determined from the proton magnetic resonance spectra of benzene solutions. A hindered rotor treatment of the barrier to internal rotation about the C—Si bond, in conjunction with the coupling constants over six bonds, allows the deduction of the low-energy conformations for C6H5SiH(CH3)2 and for C6H5SiHCl2, as well as of barriers of 1.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol. The approach becomes less reliable for C6H5SiH2CH3 and for C6H5SiH2Cl and, particularly for the latter compound, the derived barrier is very likely an upper limit only. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of the conformational energies are reported for C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, and for C6H5SiHCl2.

The p.m.r. spectra of the methyl derivatives of 2-fluoropyridine are analyzed. The signs and magnitudes of the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between the methyl protons and the ring protons and between the methyl protons and fluorine are consistent with a model in which the nitrogen atom polarizes the sigma electron system but leaves the pi electron contribution to the coupling constants relatively unchanged. There are dramatic changes in the ring proton – fluorine couplings while the couplings involving the methyl protons vary little from those in the corresponding toluene derivatives. Thus the coupling over six bonds between fluorine and methyl protons is 1.25 ± 0.03 Hz in 2-fluoro-5-methyl pyridine compared to 1.15 ± 0.02 Hz in p-fluorotoluene.

The conformational preferences in CCl4 solution at 32 °C of the hydroxyl groups in bromine derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene are deduced from the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons over five bonds. Two hydroxyl groups hydrogen bond to the same bromine substituent in 2-bromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene but prefer to hydrogen bond to different bromine substituents when available, as in 2,4-dibromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene. When the OH groups can each choose between two ortho bromine atoms, as in 2,4,6-tribromoresorcinol, they apparently do so in a very nearly statistical manner except that they avoid hydrogen bonding to the common bromine atom.

Spin Spin Coupling

The stereospecific spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the α-proton in the side chain and the protons in the heterocycle in 2-vinylfuran, in its β-nitro and β-aldehydic derivatives, and in 2-vinylthiophene are used to demonstrate the preponderance of the s-trans conformers in polar and nonpolar solutions. These conclusions are compared with predictions made by molecular orbital theory at the STO-3G, INDO, CNDO/2, and MINDO/3 levels. Long-range coupling constants between the protons in the side chain and protons in the heterocycle are calculated by CNDO/2 and INDO–MO–FPT and are compared with experiment. It is concluded that the five-bond couplings involving the α-proton are most sensitive to conformation and that they are transmitted mainly via a σ electron mechanism. The other long-range coupling constants are discussed in terms of σ and π electron mechanisms. The STO-3G calculations yield barriers to internal rotation of greater than 4.8 kcal/mol.

Good Agreement

Calculations by the IPPP-INDO method give the spin-spin coupling constants for the side-chain carbons, 3JCF and 4JCF, as 4.97 and 6.86 Hz respectively with substantial contributions to through-space coupling from the pathway CO-C-H…F. The observed values for 1-(2- fluorophenyl ) ethanone , 3.3 and 7.2 Hz, and for 1-(2,5- difluorophenyl ) ethanone , 3.7 and 7.3 Hz, are in good agreement with these predictions. Two compounds, a dihydroindenone and a naphthalenone, in which this pathway cannot be effective, show no fluorine coupling to the aliphatic carbon next to the carbonyl and the values of 3JCF are reduced to 2.2 and 2.5 Hz, consistent with the loss of a through-space Fermi contact term of the kind described above.
