Additivity of 13C-1H and 1H-1H spin-spin coupling constants in six-membered aromatic nitrogen-containing heterocycles

We have analyzed proton-coupled ¹³C NMR and PMR spectra of pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, 1,3,5-triazine, and 1,2,4-triazine for one-molar solutions of the compounds in DMSO-D₆. Comparison of the values obtained for the ¹³C-¹H and ¹H-¹H spin-spin coupling constants with the values calculated on the basis of the spin-spin coupling constants in pyridine and benzene has shown that it is possible to predict the constants using linear additive equations. Substantial nonlinear deviations (5–6 Hz) are observed for ¹J_CH when the carbon atom is located between two adjacent nitrogen atoms.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 986–990, July, 1985.
