The synthesis of benzal fluoride and of its 2,6-, 3,5-, 3,4-, and 2,4-dichloro derivatives is followed by an analysis of their proton magnetic resonance spectra. The long-range spin–spin coupling constants are most consistent with a barrier to rotation about the sp2–sp3 carbon–carbon bond in benzal fluoride of less than 500 cal/mol, in semiquantitative agreement with an ab initio molecular orbital calculation. The 2,6-dichloro derivative has a conformation in which the C—H bond of the side chain lies in the plane of the aromatic ring. The 2,4-dichloro derivative favors a similar conformation, the C—H bond lying cis to the ring chlorine atom. In contrast to the long-range proton–proton couplings, the long-range proton–fluorine couplings are intrinsically sensitive to substituent effects from the ring chlorine atoms.

N.m.r. data for 19 5-substituted and 13 polysubstituted benzo[b]thiophens are tabulated. The influence of the substituents at C5 on the chemical shifts of H4 and H6 is discussed. Long-range interproton spin-spin coupling between H3 and H7, and between H2 and H6, is general in benzo[b]thiophens. The vicinal coupling J6,7 in 5-substituted benzo[b]thiophens varies directly and linearly with the electronegativity of the substituents at C5.

Double resonance experiments on the proton magnetic resonance spectrum of 2,6-dichlorobenzylfluoride yield the signs of the long-range coupling constants between the ring protons and the fluorine nuclei and protons in the fluoromethyl group. The signs and magnitudes of the long-range couplings are discussed in terms of their dependence on the conformation of the fluoromethyl group.

Several norbornane-2,3-diones show in their proton magnetic resonance spectra an unusual long-range spin–spin coupling, 4J46λ = 1.0–1.5 Hz. An X-ray structure analysis of 6-endo-bromo-1,5,5-trimethylnorbornane-2,3-dione shows that the norbornane framework deviates only slightly from mirror symmetry. This makes it unlikely that the unusual coupling in the norbornane-2,3-diones is due to distortion of the norbornane framework and lends credence to the view that it is due to substituent effects.

The signs of all proton–proton and proton–fluorine spin–spin coupling constants in 2-fluoro-3-methylpyridine have been determined by double and triple resonance experiments. The signs of the longrange coupling constants, JH,CH3 and JF,CH3 are the same as in fluorotoluene derivatives. Their magnitudes are consistent with the assumption that the nitrogen atom primarily polarizes the σ bonds in the molecule, leaving the π contribution to the long-range coupling relatively unaffected.

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 syntheses and the analyses of the high resolution proton and fluorine magnetic resonance spectra of the 3-fluoro-4-methyl-, 2-fluoro-5-chloro-, 2-fluoro-6-chloro-, 2,6-difluoro-, and of the pentafluorobenzoyl fluorides are reported. The spin–spin coupling constants over five bonds between the sidechain fluorine-19 and the ring protons are sensitive to intrinsic substituent perturbations. Their use in the deduction of conformational preferences is much more problematical than is the use of the corresponding proton–proton couplings in benzaldehyde derivatives. The 2-fluoro-6-chloro compound is nonplanar, as indicated by a finite magnitude of the long-range proton–fluorine coupling over six bonds. The nonplanarity is also indicated by a comparison of the through-space fluorine–fluorine coupling to those in the other compounds. The chemical shift of the sidechain fluorine moves to low field by over 35 ppm as the size of the two ortho substituents increases. The individual shifts are discussed in terms of intramolecular van der Waals interactions and of out-of-plane twisting of the COF group.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the four isomeric diazanaphthalenes, quinoxaline, phthalazine, quinazoline, and cinnoline, all as dilute solutions in carbon tetrachloride and acetone, have been investigated at 100 Mc/s. The chemical shifts and coupling constants have been obtained by direct calculation or, where appropriate, by an iterative procedure. Long-range coupling constants between protons separated by five and six bonds have been observed.
