Substituent effects on carbon-13 chemical shifts in 2,6-disubstituted adamantanes

Carbon-13 NMR spectral data for a series of symmetrical 2,6-disubstituted adamantanes (O?, CH₂?, CH₃, OH, OCOCH₃) are presented. The substituent effects on ¹³C chemical shifts are additive, except for carbons 2 and 6 in 2,6-adamantanedione. The non-additivity of the substituent effect in the diketone can be interpreted in terms of a through-space interaction of the carbonyl π-electrons; the additivity in the other derivatives indicates that there is no appreciable interaction between the substituents.     

Substituent effects on carbon-13 NMR chemical shifts of side chain carbonyl carbons of 4-substituted 1-naphthamides

Substituent induced¹³C NMR chemical shifts of side chain carbonyl carbons of several 4-substituted 1-naphthamides have been measured in DMSO-d ₆ solvent. Analysis of the substituent induced chemical shifts by the DSP equation gave the regression equation. Both {ie207-1} and {ie207-2} values were negative. The negative sign on {ie207-3} term indicates the operation of a reverse substituent effect and that π-polarisation is the important mechanism for the transmission of substituent effects by inductive effect. Theperi-hydrogen interaction in naphthamides forces the amide group out of the plane of the naphthalene ring.     

Substituent effects in the 13C NMR chemical shifts of alpha-mono-substituted acetonitriles

13C chemical shifts empirical calculations, through a very simple additivity relationship, for the alpha-methylene carbon of some alpha-mono-substituted acetonitriles, Y-CH(2)-CN (Y=H, F, Cl, Br, I, OMe, OEt, SMe, SEt, NMe(2), NEt(2), Me and Et), lead to similar, or even better, results in comparison to the reported values obtained through Quantum Mechanics methods. The observed deviations, for some substituents, are very similar for both approaches. This divergence between experimental and calculated, either empirically or theoretically, values are smaller than for the corresponding acetones, amides, acetic acids and methyl esters, which had been named non-additivity effects (or intramolecular interaction chemical shifts, ICS) and attributed to some orbital interactions. Here, these orbital interactions do not seem to be the main reason for the non-additivity effects in the empirical calculations, which must be due solely to the magnetic anisotropy of the heavy atom present in the substituent. These deviations, which were also observed in the theoretical calculations, were attributed in that case to the non-inclusion of relativistic effects and spin-orbit coupling in the Hamiltonian. Some divergence is also observed for the cyano carbon chemical shifts, probably due to the same reasons.     

Carbon-13 NMR spectra of a series of para-substituted phenyl isothiocyanates. Linear free energy relationships for carbon-13 substituent chemical shifts

Carbon-13 chemical shifts are reported for 16 para-substituted phenyl isothiocyanates measured at 1 and 10 mol % in chloroform-d solution. Data for the ? N?C?S group were not obtained at 1 mol %, but concentration effects for the other resonances were negligible. Hammett, dual substituent parameter (DSP) and DSP-nonlinear resonance (DSP-NLR) analyses were used to evaluate substituent effects on the substituent chemical shifts (SCS) for the ipso-carbon (C-1), C-2, and the ? N?C?S carbon atoms. A good Hammett correlation was observed for C-1 (ν_p⁺ = 8.1 ppm, r = 0.98 at 1 mol %) but was improved for the higher order correlations with the following results, DSP:ρ _I = 5.4, ρ_R° = 22.2, r = 0.998; DSP-NLR: ρ_I = 5.6, ρ_R° = 20.5, ? = ?0.22, r = 0.999. The 10 mol % data were very similar except the value of ? was ?0.26 and confirms the phenyl-bonded ? N?C?S moiety as a mild electron acceptor substituent. Hammett correlations were unsuccessful for the C-2 data, but fairly good results were obtained from the higher order analyses. For the 1 mol % data, DSP: ν_I = 1.6, ν_R° = ?2.0, r = 0.976; DSP-NLR: ν_I = 1.8, ν_R° = ?2.6, ? = 1.1, r = 0.982. Excellent correlations were obtained for the 10 mol % ? N?C?S carbon data. Hammett: ν_p° = 6.2, r = 0.997; DSP: ν_I = 5.9, ν_R° = 7.0, r = 0.997; DSP-NLR: ν_I = 5.8, ν_R° = 7.6, ? = 0.25, r = 0.997. The positive ν values in these three correlations contrast the negative values usually observed for carbonyl and thiocarbonyl carbons, and more closely parallel results previously reported for the β-carbon of styrenes and benzylidene anilines with para-substituents in the aniline ring.     

Substituent effects on 13C-15N spin couplings and 13C chemical shifts in benzenediazonium ions

Similar trends are observed for ¹J(¹³C-¹⁵N) values for a series of aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborates and comparable anilinium fluorosulfonates. Contributions from resonance structures involving double-bond character in the CN bond are judged to be relatively unimportant in the ground state structure of aryldiazonium ions.     

Substituent effects on meta-proton chemical shifts in substituted benzenes

The chemical shifts at infinite dilution and coupling constants of some meta-substituted nitrobenzenes (C₆H₄NO₂X) were determined in CDCI₃ solutions (X = CHO, OCH₃, CI, Br, NH₂, NO₂) and in CCI₄ solutions (X = OCH₃, CI, Br). Substituent effects on the chemical shift of the meta-hydrogen are analysed in terms of existing theories.     

Substituent effects on 13C and 1H chemical shifts in 3-benzylidene-2,4-pentanediones

Substituent effects on the ¹³C and ¹H chemical shifts have been studied for derivatives of 3-benzylidene-2, 4-pentanedione. A significant correlation has been found between chemical shifts of the Z carbonyl group (C-2) and Hammett constants, while no correlation has been found for the E carbonyl group (C-4). Attempts have been made to determine the structural factors which influence these effects. The conformation of 3-benzylidene-2, 4-pentanediones has been determined by ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Substituent effects in the 13C NMR chemical shifts of para-(para-substituted benzylidene amino)benzonitrile and para-(ortho-substituted benzylidene amino)benzonitrile

¹³C NMR chemical shifts were measured in CDCl₃ for two series of substituted benzylidene anilines. The substituted benzylidene anilines p-X-C₆H₄CH=NC₆H₄-p-CN p-X-C₆H₄CH=NC₆H₄-o-CN (X = NO₂, F, Cl, Br, H, Me, MeO, NMe₂). The substituent dependence of δC(C=N) was used as a tool to study electronic substituent effects on the azomethine unit. The benzylidene substituents X have a reverse effect on δC(C=N): electron-withdrawing substituents cause shielding, while electrondonating ones do the reverse, the resonance effects clearly predominating over the inductive effects. Additionally, the presence of a specific cross-interaction between X and C=N could be verified. The electronic effects of the neighboring aromatic ring substituents systematically modify the sensitivity of the C=N group to the electronic effects of the benzylidene substituents. These results can be rationalized in terms of the substituent-sensitive balance of the electron delocalization (mesomeric effects).     

Substituent effects on the P NMR chemical shifts of arylphosphorothionates

Six tris(aryloxy)phosphorothionates substituted in the para position of the aromatic rings were synthesized and studied by ³¹P NMR, X-ray diffraction techniques and ab initio calculations at a RHF/6-31G** level of theory, in order to find the main structural factors associated with the δ³¹P in these compounds. As the electron-withdrawing (EW) ability of the substituents was increased, an ‘abnormal’ shielding effect on δ³¹P of the arylphosphorothionates was observed. The analyses of the geometrical properties obtained through both experimental and theoretical methods showed that a propeller-type conformation is preferred for the arylphosphorothionates, except in the case of the tris(O-4-methylphenyl)phosphorothionate, since one of the aromatic rings is not rotated in the same direction as the other two in the solid state. The main features associated with the δ³¹P NMR of compounds 1-6 were a decrease of the averaged O-P-O angle and mainly the shortening of the PS bond length, which is consistent with an increase of the thiophosphoryl bond order as δ³¹P values go upfield. On the other hand, comparison of the experimental and calculated bond lengths and bond angles involving α bonded atoms to phosphorus of the six compounds suggested that stereoelectronic interactions of the type n_πO-σ*_PS, n_πO-σ*_P-OAr and n_πS-σ*_P-OAr could be present in the arylphosphorothionates 1-6.     

Substituent effects on 13C NMR chemical shifts in the saturated framework of primary aliphatic derivatives

A general equation describing the effect of substituents on α-carbons in a saturated framework was developed from ¹³C chemical shifts obtained under uniform conditions for selected aliphatic compounds. Experimental correlations for β- and γ-carbons and a discussion of the results are presented.     

Substituent effects on 33S NMR chemical shifts in sulphones

The ³³S NMR spectra of some selected sulphones demonstrate additive substituent-induced chemical shift (SCS) effects. In dimethyl sulphone (1), replacement of a methyl group by a vinyl or a phenyl group causes an SCS effect of ?7 to ?8.5 ppm or ?4 to ?5 ppm, respectively. The ³³S chemical shift in 1 is also sensitive to substitution of methyl protons. The ß-substituent effect for methyl and phenyl groups is in the range +7 to +8 ppm and +5.5 to +6 ppm, respectively.     

Temperature effects on the carbon-13 NMR shifts of selected compounds

The effects of temperature on the ¹³C NMR shifts of benzene, cyclohexane, pyridine, cyclohexene, neopentane, hexane, and heptane have been determined from +10 to +70°C. In addition, the temperature shift of ²D in D₂O was found to be +10.4 × 10^?3 ppm/°C. All shifts appear to be linear functions of temperature within experimental error.     

Temperature dependence of the carbon-13 chemical shifts of paraffinic hydrocarbons

A study of several linear and branched alkanes indicates that the temperature dependence of ¹³C chemical shifts is a complex phenomenon in which several non-additive effects may be operative. The chemical shift temperature coefficients dδ/dT do, however, reveal some systematic trends which could be helpful in the assignments of ¹³C resonances. An empirical equation is proposed (akin to that of Grant and Paul for ¹³C chemical shifts) which accurately correlates all the data obtained near ambient temperatures.     

Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts of ketenimines: a GIAO/HF and DFT study

GIAO/HF and DFT methods were utilized to predict the ¹³C chemical shifts of substituted ketenimines. GIAO HF/6–311+G(2d,p) and B3LYP/6–311+G(2d,p) methods were applied on the optimized B3LYP/6–31G(d) geometries and ¹³C chemical shifts of C_α and C_β of substituted ketenimines were correlated with group electronegativities. HF and DFT calculations indicated that increasing substituent group electronegativity leads to increasing chemical shift of C_β of substituted ketenimines, whereas the C_α values decrease.

Substituent effects on 13C chemical shifts of alkyl-substituted 4-oxo-1,3-dioxolanes and 5-oxo-1,3-oxathiolanes

The 13C NMR chemical shifts for 4-oxo-1,3-dioxolane (1) and its all methyl-substituted derivatives (2-10) as well as for 5-oxo-1,3-oxathiolane (11) and its nine alkyl-substituted derivatives (12-20) are reported. The magnitude and variety of the substituent effects are in accordance with the envelope conformations in which the oxygen or sulfur atom locates at the tip of the envelope as postulated on the basis of earlier data.
