13C-NMR-Spektroskopie an polycyclischen Aromaten, II. Die 13C-NMR-Spektren von 1- und 2-Fluornaphthalin. Überprüfung der Signalzuordnung und Untersuchung der Substituenteneffekte auf die chemischen Verschiebungen / 13C NMR Spectroscopy of Polycyclic Aromatics, II. The 13C NMR Spectra of 1- and 2-Fluoronaphthalene. Reexamination of Signal Assignments and Investigation of Substituent Effects on Chemical Shifts
During a reinvestigation of the 13C NMR spectra of 1-fluoronaphthalene (1) and of 2-fluoronaphthalene (2) at 20 and 25.16 MHz, uncertainties that existed in the literature about signal assignments for 1 could be cleared. In the spectral analyses for 2 given so far, five out of ten signals were incorrectly assigned. The corrected assignment is supported by extensive 13C{1H} double resonance experiments, by recording of proton-coupled 13C and 13C{19F} spectra and by off-resonance 13C{1H} noise-decoupling. The results show a strong + M-effect of the fluorine substituents on 13C chemical shifts similar to the effects of OH and OCH3 groups. 1H NMR spectra of 1 and 2 could be partially assigned by decoupling of the 19F resonances and by iterative analysis.
