NMR study of conjugation effects 15.13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in phenyl alkyl ether

Conclusions ¹³C-¹³C SSCC were measured for a series of phenyl alkyl ethers. The values through the bond between C² and C³ in mono substituted benzenes most clearly reflect the -electron interaction of the aromatic ring with the substituent, provided the latter contains no atoms from a period of the periodic table higher than the second.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya.No. 1, pp. 113–119, January, 1982.The authors thank N.
