The 1H and 13C chemical shifts for some tetrakis(para-substituted phenyl)ethylenes

The proton and carbon chemical shifts for a series of tetrakis(p-substituted phenyl)ethylenes are described. Assignments followed routine substituent chemical shift trends. Both proton and carbon chemical shifts ortho to the varying substituent follow the empirical parameter, Q. The ethylene carbon chemical shifts are proportional to those at the position para to the varying substituent.     

Carbon-13 NMR study of substituted benzyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates

The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of m- and p-substituted benzyl N,N-dimethylcarbamates were measured in CDCl₃. The meta and para ¹³C substituent chemical shifts were analysed by means of dual substituent parameter (DSP) equations. Good correlations were obtained, especially for the para-carbon substituent chemical shifts. The computed transmission coefficients, ρ_I and ρ_R, are consistent with the general features of the fitting parameters. It has been shown that no significant electron demand is imposed by the ? CH₂OCON(CH₃)₂ substituent.     

Carbon-13 NMR of quinone methides

The ¹³C NMR spectra of four ortho- and seven para-quinone methides were assigned using chemical shift and long-range carbon-proton coupling information. The carbonyl shifts are compared with those in ortho- and para-benzoquinones. The chemical shifts of the carbonyls of the p-quinone methides are observed at δ 186.2–186.4 for the three ortho-di-tert-butyl-substituted compounds and at δ 180.7–181.5 for the four ortho-oxy-substituted compounds. In the three o-quinone methides with meta, para-dioxy substituents, the carbonyl signals are at δ 184.2–185.4. The carbonyl signal of the one o-quinone methide with no oxygen substitution is shifted downfield to δ 200.9, apparently as a result of hydrogen bonding to the nearby hydroxyl.     

Carbon-13 NMR studies on some 5-substituted quinoxalines

Eleven 5-substituted quinoxalines (NO₂, NH₂, COOH, OCH₃, CH₃, OH, F, Cl, Br, I, CN, the latter five not reported previously) have been synthesized by standard methods. Their ¹³C NMR spectra have been measured in DMSO-d₆ and assigned on the basis of substituent parameters, by line widths and by intensities. The chemical shifts compare favorably with those calculated using benzene substituent parameters, and are very close to those of corresponding carbons in 1-substituted phenazines. The correlation with the chemical shifts of the corresponding positions in 1-substituted naphthalenes is also close except for those of carbons 4a and 8a in the quinoxalines which, due to their proximity to nitrogen, are downfield (in some cases 12 ppm) of the signals of the corresponding carbons in naphthalene. 5-Fluoroquinoxaline was also measured in CDCl₃, CD₃COCD₃, CD₃CN, CD₃OD, C₆D₆ and CD₃COOD. In all solvents an abnormally low ²J(CF) (～ 12 Hz) was found for C-4a and no C? F spin-spin splitting could be detected for the three-bond coupling of C-8a. Similar abnormalities were found in 2-fluoroaniline and 2-fluoroacetanilide. There are linear relationships between the Q parameter of the substituent and the chemical shift of carbons 4a, 5 and 6. A linear relationship also exists between the chemical shift of C-8 (‘para’ position) and the Hammett σ_p parameter of the substituent.     

A unified correlation of substituent effects with carbon,proton and fluorine chemical shifts in aromatic and olefinic systems

At the present time no completely satisfactory quantum mechanical calculations exist for carbon, proton or fluorine chemical shifts in various substituted aromatic or olefinic systems. However, the chemical shifts in such systems have been shown to be well correlated by a linear multiple regression analysis with the Swain and Lupton field and resonance para meters ? and ?, and the semiempirical parameter Q. The utility of Q in testing substituent stereochemistry has been exemplified previously. Here the applications of the complete regression analysis to a wide variety of different systems for the three nuclei are given. The correlation is also shown to apply to selenium in substituted selenophenes. The ¹³C chemical shifts for a series of ortho substituted toluenes are presented and comparisons made with other ortho disubstituted benzenes.     

The 13C NMR spectra of nine ortho-substituted phenols

The ¹³C chemical shifts of nine ortho-substituted phenols have been determined in cyclohexane and in dimethyl sulfoxide. All data were acquired in duplicate upon c.w. and FT instrumentation and both sets of data are presented. The chemical shifts at carbons 1, 2 and 3 are correlated with the parameter Q. Q has been defined as P/Ir³ where P is the polarizability of the adjacent C? X bond, I is the first ionization potential of the elements F, Cl, Br, I and H, and r is the C? X bond length. Experimental values of Q are available for other substituents. The field and resonance parameters of Swain and Lupton may be combined with Q to form a three part multiple regression correlation which is more exact than that with Q alone and which applies to all carbons in the aromatic ring. The results of this study suggest that only one value of the Q parameter is needed to characterize the behavior of the nitro group in these solvent systems. This conclusion is contrasted with earlier results of the effect of substituents on proton chemical shifts in these systems.     

Dual substituent parameter analysis of the ethyl and ipso 13C n.m.r. chemical shifts of some ring-substituted ethylbenzenes and ethylnaphthalenes

The natural abundance ¹³C n.m.r. spectra of a series of para-substituted ethylbenzenes, 4-substituted-1-ethylnaphthalenes and a limited series of 6-substituted-2-ethylnaphthalenes have been examined at low dilution in deuterochloroform solvent. The ethyl carbons and C_ipso in the phenyl series (i.e. have been assigned, and substituent chemical shifts for these carbons calculated and analysed by the Dual Substituent Parameter treatment. (Chemical shifts of all ring carbons have been obtained, but not assigned). Generally speaking, electron-withdrawing substituents lead to positive (i.e. downfield) substituent chemical shifts for CH ₂ and negative substituent chemical shifts for C H₃, i.e. ‘normal’ and ‘inverse’ behaviour respectively. C_ipso in the phenyl series exhibits a ‘normal’ dependence. The dependences of the various substituent chemical shifts on inductive and resonance parameters are discussed, and compared with the behaviour of side chain carbons in other substituted benzene systems.     

Substituent effects on carbon-13 chemical shifts of para-substituted benzylbenzenes

Carbon-13 chemical shifts of fourteen para-substituted benzylbenzenes have been determined. The relative substituent chemical shifts (SCS) of the methylene carbons and the aromatic ring carbons (C-4, C-1′ and C-4′) correlated well with the Hammett substituent effects using the dual substituent parameter method. The transmission of substituent effects through the benzylbenzene system is briefly discussed.     

13C chemical shifts of symmetrically substituted biphenyls: Unambiguous signal assignment for the carbons ortho and para to an aryl group

The natural abundance ¹³C NMR spectra of 2,2′-dimethyl-, 2,2′-dimethoxy- and 2,2′-dihydroxybiphenyls, and a series of 2,2′-dimethoxy-5,5′-disubstituted biphenyls were recorded. Unambiguous signal assignments of the carbons ortho and para to an aryl ring in biphenyls were made by selective deuteration and/or the graphical method for ¹H single frequency off-resonance decoupled spectra. Contrary to the reported assignments, it was shown that the signal for C-6 in 2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl clearly appears at lower field than that for C-4. The signals for the ortho carbons (C-6) of 2,2′-dimethoxy-5,5′-disubstituted biphenyls generally appeared at lower fields than those for the para carbons (C-4). The validity of applying deuterium isotope shifts to the assignments of ¹³C chemical shifts of di- and tetra-substituted biphenyls is also discussed.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of anthraquinones. Part III—correlation of substituent effects for 2-substituted anthraquinones

The ¹³C chemical shifts of 2-substituted and 2,6-disubstituted anthraquinones have been determined and assigned. The C-1, 2, 3, 4, 13 and C-14 chemical shifts of 2-substituted anthraquinones are correlated with the chemical shifts of monosubstituted benzenes. A three-parameter correlation with Swain and Lupton's ? and ? parameters and Schaefer's Q parameter provides relationships for the prediction of all chemical shifts of 2-substituted anthraquinones from the substituent parameters. Q values for the SCH₃, OCOCH₃, C₂H₅ and C(CH₃)₃ groups are proposed. The two types of correlations are compared for predicting chemical shifts.     

Linear Free‐Energy Relationships Applied to the 13C NMR Chemical Shifts in 4‐Substituted N‐[1‐(Pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines

Two series of 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines have been synthesized using different methods of conventional and microwave‐assisted synthesis, and linear free‐energy relationships have been applied to the ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the carbon atoms of interest. The substituent‐induced chemical shifts have been analyzed using single substituent parameter and dual substituent parameter methods. The presented correlations describe satisfactorily the field and resonance substituent effects having similar contributions for C1 and the azomethine carbon, with exception of the carbon atom in para position to the substituent X. In both series, negative ρ values have been found for C1′ atom (reverse substituent effect). Quantum chemical calculations of the optimized geometries at MP2/6‐31G++(d,p) level, together with ¹³C NMR chemical shifts, give a better insight into the influence of the molecular conformation on the transmission of electronic substituent effects. The comparison of correlation results for different series of imines with phenyl, 4‐nitrophenyl, 2‐pyridyl, 3‐pyridyl, 4‐pyridyl group attached at the azomethine carbon with the results for 4‐substituted N‐[1‐(pyridine‐3‐ and ‐4‐yl)ethylidene]anilines for the same substituent set (X) indicates that a combination of the influences of electronic effects of the substituent X and the π₁‐unit can be described as a sensitive balance of different resonance structures.     

Dynamic stereochemistry of imines and derivatives: 15—Carbon-13 NMR studies of aryl-substituted imines and oxaziridines

¹³C chemical shifts for several series of cis- and trans-N-alkylimines and oxaziridines bearing para-substituted C-phenyl rings are reported and correlated with dual substituent parameters. The ¹³C?N and oxaziridine ring carbon shifts correlate primarily with the inductive/field parameters, σ₁, whereas both resonance and inductive terms generally contribute about equally to the long-range substituent effects on alkyl side-chain chemical shifts. Correlations on diastereoisomeric imines show that the transmission of substituent effects can be significantly affected by the E–Z configuration. Aromatic carbon chemical shifts in imines are discussed in relation to the E–Z configuration and the conformation around the aryl—imino bond.     

Etude par RMN du 13C d'Hydroxy-4 Coumarines Substituées en 3. Analyse par Corrélation des Effets de Substituants

Carbon-13 chemical shifts and ¹³C-¹H coupling constants of 3-substituted 4-hydroxycoumarins and 4-hydroxy-7-methoxycoumarins are determined. A three-parameter correlation with ? and ? of Swain and Lupton and Q of Schaefer applied to these compounds provides linear relationships for the prediction of chemical shifts from substituent parameters.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of a series of para-substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides. Comparisons of linear free energy relationships for carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 chemical shifts and rotation barriers

All carbon-13 chemical shifts for 11 para-substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides in 1 mole % chloroform solution are reported, with assignments based upon double resonance experiments, analogy to chemical shifts of benzamide, and self-consistency between experimental and calculated values using recognized substituent parameters. In contrast to earlier reports, the aryl carbon chemical shift assignments for N,N-dimethylbenzamide are C-2, 127.0; C-3, 128.7; C-4, 129.4, and for p-chloro-N,N-dimethylbenzamide are C-1, 134.6; C-4, 135.5 ppm, relative to internal TMS. Good Hammett correlations (σ_p) are reported for ¹³C chemical shifts of C-1 (σ = 11.9 ppm) and even for the carbonyl group (σ = ?2.3 ppm) but are markedly improved if correlated with σ_p+ (σ = 9.5 ppm) and Dewar's F (σ = ?1.9 ppm), respectively. Excellent Swain–Lupton F and R correlations were found for some of the ¹³C chemical shifts and yielded values for percent resonance contributions to transmission of substituent effects as follows, C-1, 75 ± 4%; C-2, 51 ± 3%; C?O, 31±2%. These are compared to similar values calculated from the C?O of benzoic acids of 34±10%, and from the nitrogen-15 chemical shifts of benzamides of 56±2%. Correlations of these ¹³C δ values and ¹⁵N δ values with rotation barriers (ΔG) for N,N-dimethylbenzamides were examined, and it was found that while C?O δ values correlated only poorly the C-1 δ values correlated very well, but the best correlation was for ¹⁵N δ values of benzamides. It is suggested that Δ G and δ ¹⁵N are intrinsically related due to their numerical correlation, and the close similarity in percent resonance contribution of substituent influence on these parameters.     

Carbon-13 NMR studies of quinolines and isoquinolines. II. Chlorine–nitrogen interactions and N-oxide effects

Carbon-13 chemical shift assignments are reported for four chloroquinolines, six chloroisoquinolines, one dichloroquinoline, four dichloroisoquinolines, four methylchloroquinolines, two methylchloroisoquinolines, quinoline N-oxide, isoquinoline N-oxide, five methylquinoline N-oxides, two methylisoquinoline N-oxides and three chloroisoquinoline N-oxides. Chlorine substituent chemical shift (SCS) effects are reported for the alpha, ortho, meta, para and peri positions. Consistent patterns are observed for the para and peri positions, a vinylogous ortho pattern is reported and the additivity of these SCS effects is demonstrated. Alpha SCS effects vary widely from 1.1 ppm upfield in 1-chloroisoquinoline to 6.7 ppm downfield in 4-chloroquinoline. These results, together with those in the literature, permit the definition of steric and nitrogen lone-pair contributions which modify the ‘normal’ chlorine SCS effect, and these modifying contributions are shown to be roughly additive. Large (6–16 ppm) upfield shifts are observed for the carbons ortho and para to the N-oxide group. The individual magnitudes of these shifts and their sum are constant and the effects are additive in substituted systems. A 9.5 ppm upfield shift is also observed for C-8 in quinoline N-oxides which is attributed to a space–charge interaction. Substituent chemical shift (SCS) effects for the chloro and methyl groups and the chemical shifts of the methyl carbons are essentially the same in the N-oxides as in the parent heterocycles and are additive, except for those molecules where the substituent is adjacent to the N-oxide moiety, in which cases substantial interactions are observed.     

A correlation of substituent effects with proton chemical shifts in aromatic tetrazolic acids

The effect of substituents on the proton chemical shifts and spin–spin coupling constants in ortho-, meta- and para-substituted 5-phenyltetrazoles (tetrazolic acids) in DMSO–CH₃CN (1:1, v/v) was studied. With the meta- and para- substituted compounds the additivity rule of chemical shifts was obeyed, thereby enabling increments characterizing the effects of individual substituents in monosubstituted benzenes to be determined. By employing the Smith and Proulx equation, the chemical shifts of the aromatic protons were correlated with the F, R and Q substituent constants. The values of these constants are 1.02, ?0.004 and 5.49, respectively, for the tetrazolyl substituent.     

Correlation of para substituent carbon-13 chemical shifts in aromatic compounds using polar (inductive) and resonance constants which are identical for aliphatic and aromatic compounds

A correlation of para substituted ¹³C chemical shifts in aromatic compounds with substituent polar (inductive) and resonance constants σ* and σ^r of aliphatic compounds has been studied. It has been shown that the precision of the correlations obtained corresponds to that of the Swain-Lupton and Taft two-parameter equations, but the correlation equation used in this work seems to permit a more exact separation of the substituent effects of aromatic compounds into inductive and resonance contributions. Thus, σ* and σ^r substituent constants are universal parameters which can be used in a correlation analysis of the properties of both aliphatic and aromatic compounds.     

Electronic effects in the cyclopentadienyl ring. The 13C NMR spectraof monosubstituted ferrocenes

The chemical shifts of C(2,5) and C(3,4) carbons in the ¹³C NMR spectra of monosubstituted ferrocenes have been assigned using deuterium labelling. An analogy is observed between the shielding of C(2,5) and C(3,4) carbons of ferrocene derivatives and ortho- and para-carbons of benzene derivatives withthe same substituents. Electron-density distribution in the cyclopentadienyl ring is discussed on the basis of ¹³C NMR data.     

Zur Kenntnis des Chinoiden Zustandes—XX: 13CMR-Untersuchungen an Cyclohexadienonen

The ¹³C-NMR-chemical shifts of 19 para- and 5 ortho-cyclohexadienones are determined by ¹³C-Fourier-transformation spectroscopy and assigned. The effect of substituents on the chemical shift of the ring carbon atoms is discussed. The mutual dependence of the shifts of the olefinic ring carbons and the allylic carbon atom in the para-quinolid ring system is shown by computing regression lines. A frequently observed correlation between ¹³C-NMR and ¹H-NMR is examined in the case of cyclohexadienones.     

Carbon Magnetic Resonance Spectra of α, β, γ, δ- and α, β, α′, β′- Unsaturated Ketones

Carbon-13 spectra of a series of 26 unsaturated ketones (ortho- and para-cyclo-hexadienones and corresponding open-chain analogues) have been measured by Fourier-transform. Pulse spectroscopy. A complete analysis has been achieved by means of double resonance experiments using noise-modulated and coherent off-resonance proton irradiation and with the aid of non-decoupled spectra. Chemical shifts are interpreted in terms of charge distribution in the dienone system and of methyl substituent effects. Carbon chemical shifts were also obtained for O-protonated ortho- and para-cyclohexadienones. One-bond and long-range carbon-proton and carbon-fluorine spin coupling constants are reported for several compounds.
