Spin Spin Coupling

A full analysis of the p.m.r. spectra of coumarin and five of its methyl derivatives allows the assignment of σ and π electron components to the inter-ring proton–proton spin–spin coupling constants. Magnitudes of up to 0.3 Hz are observed over a coupling path of eight bonds. The σ and π components can be combined on the basis of the appropriate valence bond structures to predict closely the observed parameters in naphthalene, suggesting only weak participation of the ether oxygen atom in the π electron system of coumarin. Calculations of the inter-ring coupling constants at the INDO and CNDO/2 levels of molecular orbital theory are helpful in the interpretation of the observed data, the agreement with experiment being quantitative in many instances. Comparison of the observed coupling constants in coumarin and styrene with the INDO results for an assumed planar form of the latter suggests that styrene exists in a nonplanar conformation.

Spin–spin coupling constants over five, six, and seven bonds between protons in different methyl groups are reported for the xylenes, derivatives of benzene, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridinium salts, p-benzoquinone, and borazine. The coupling magnitudes are characteristic of the substitution pattern in the delocalized systems. Calculations at the INDO-MO-FPT level of methyl proton couplings in N- and B-methylborazines are in agreement with the available experimental evidence in indicating a relatively weak transmission of spin density information via the presumed π electron system of borazine.

Coupling Mechanisms

The signs and magnitudes of the spin–spin coupling constants over three to six bonds between protons in isothiazole, isoxazole, and in 10 of their alkyl derivatives are measured and discussed in terms of the coupling mechanisms. The chemical shifts of ring protons and methyl protons appear to arise from a common mechanism originating in the ring but are not simply related to electron densities calculated by molecular orbital theory at the CNDO/2 level of approximation.

Spin Spin Coupling

Carbon-13, proton nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been measured for a number of 4-substituted isothiazoles. The observed values are compared with those measured in other heterocyclic systems and those calculated in the parent and related heterocyclics using finite perturbation theory and semi-empirical molecular orbital theory at the CNDO/2 and INDO levels of approximation.

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.
