Carbon-13 NMR studies of substituted naphthalenes. I—complete assignments of the 13C chemical shifts with the aid of deuterated derivatives

Proton-coupled as well as noise-decoupled ¹³C NMR spectra of several substituted naphthalenes have been studied. Complete assignments of the ¹³C signals based on selectively deuterated derivatives and on the ¹³C? ¹H coupling pattern have been made. For the methoxynaphthalenes, acetylnaphthalenes and naphthaldehydes the dominant conformations of the substituents have been deduced from the ¹³C chemical shifts.
