The three fluorine atoms of N,N-dialkyl amide and chloride derivatives of 2-methoxy-2-phenyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropanoic acid are magnetically nonequivalent below –60 °C and exhibit a clear ABC coupling pattern from which chemical shifts and geminal coupling constants are readily derived. The chemical shifts span a range of about 10 ppm and the geminal coupling constants average about 110 Hz. A five bond coupling of about 5 Hz is observed between the hydrogens of the methoxy group and one of the nonequivalent fluorine atoms of the trifluoromethyl group. Barriers to the hindered rotation about the single bond to the trifluoromethyl group are in the range 36–46 kJ/mol.

For the purpose of correlation of chemical shifts and geminal coupling constants with stereochemistry a number of compounds of fixed geometry have been synthesized. These include seven 6-substituted 1-phenylphthalans, five 6-substituted 2-methyl-1-phenylisoindolines, and six 2-substituted 5H-dibenzo-[a,d]cycloheptene oxides. The geometrical properties of the three ring systems are discussed and arguments in favor of a quasi-equatorial epoxide substituent in the latter series are supported by n.O.e. measurements.

The magnitude of —OCH2O— group geminal H,H coupling contants, the size of the vicinal coupling constants, and the tenets of conformational analysis were used to establish that in solution the conformation of the 1,3-dioxepane rings in derivatives of 1,3:2,5-di-O-methylenemannitol and 2,5-O-methylenemannitol is predominantly the twist-chair in which the C2 axis passes through the acetal carbon.

Abstract The high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of 35 carbamate pesticides and a major metabolite of one pesticide are discussed. The chemical shifts and coupling constants are tabulated and reproductions of the more complex or unusual spectra are included. A concentration and solvent dependence of both the NH-proton and the NCH3-proton resonances of an N-monosubstituted carbamate is discussed. Hindered rotation is observed in the N,N-dimethylcarbamates, the thiolcarbamates and the dithiocarbamates, but not in the N-methylcarbamates.

The 15N chemical shifts and 1J(15N, H) coupling constants of 1,4-bis(substituted amino)-9,10-anthraquinones and 1,4-bis(substituted amino)-2,3-dihydro-9,10-anthraquinones indicate that these derivatives exist as true aminoderivatives except for 1,4-bis(phenylamino)-2,3-dihydro-9,10-anthraquinone which forms a tautomeric mixture of the amino and imino forms in deuteriochloroform and hexadeuteriodimethyl sulphoxide.

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.

13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts and nJ(13C,13C) are reported for anisole and 16 of its derivatives, all enriched with 13C in the methoxyl group. 5J(13C,13C) is directly proportional to sin2θ, where θ is the angle by which the methoxy group twists about the C(1)—O bond. In acetone-d6 solution, 5J(C,C) is not observable for a number of 4-substituted anisoles, except for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene. For the latter, 5J(C,C) is compatible with a twofold barrier of 19.3 ± 1.1 kJ/mol hindering rotation about the C(1)—O bond. However, it is unlikely that the barrier is purely twofold in nature. The observed 5J(C,C) is also compatible with 10.5 and 6.0 kJ/mol for the twofold and fourfold components, respectively, implying a dynamical nuclear magnetic resonance barrier of less than 13 kJ/mol. While phase and solvent effects on the internal barrier in anisole are certainly substantial, it appears that a fourfold component must also be present. The apparent twofold barrier in 2,6-difluoroanisole is 5.4 ± 0.9 kJ/mol, based on 5J(C,C) and 6J(H-4,13C). The latter coupling constant is also reported for 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene and used to deduce its conformation. The θ dependence of 3J(C,C) and 4J(C,C) is briefly discussed for symmetrical anisole derivatives. Differential 13C, 13C isotope shifts are reported for 1,4-dimethoxybenzene.

The n.m.r. spectra of 1α-methoxy-2β-hydroxy-3α-aminocyclohexane, 1α-methoxy-2α-hydroxy-3β-aminocyclohexane, their N-acetyl and O,N-diacetyl derivatives, ethoxy analogues, and 3α-amino-1α,2β-cyclohexanediol and 3β-amino-1α,2β-cyclohexanediol triacetates were measured in chloroform solution. From the chemical shifts of the O- and/or N-acetyl methyl protons it was possible to assign conformations to all the substituted derivatives and in most cases the assignments thus made were confirmed by first-order analysis of the multiplet pattern from the methine protons. In all cases, the conformations found were those predicted on simple conformational grounds and no evidence for a conformational equilibrium at room temperature was obtained from the coupling constants. In general, the coupling constants for the methine protons followed the pattern predicted by the Karplus equation. Acetylation of the 1α-alkoxy-2α-hydroxy-3β-aminocyclohexanes with acetic anhydride gave both the O,N-diacetyl derivative and the O,N,N-triacetyl derivative.

This paper provides evidence that three compounds previously assumed to be methoxyl derivatives of dihydroanthracenes (1) are actually cyclononatriene derivatives. The revised structural assignments, made on the basis of mass spectral and n.m.r. evidence, remove a previous inconsistency in their n.m.r. properties. The constancy of geminal coupling constants in all three cyclononatrienes is discussed.
