Etudes par la RMN du carbone-13 de quelques dérivés cyclopropaniques: Déplacements chimiques et paramètres structuraux

Measurements of the ¹³C chemical shifts of monosubstituted cyclopropanes (C₃H₅X, X = CH₃, Br, ? C?CH) enabled us to determine the direct additivity parameters which depend solely on the nature of the substituent. In the case of polysubstituted derivatives, complementary effects due to pairwise contributions of the substituents superpose upon the direct effects. A systematic study of cyclopropanes polysubstituted by bromine atoms, and methyl and ethynyl groups shows these different contributions and permits us to propose a simple interpretation for the majority of cases. Pairwise interaction has been ascribed either to electron transfer or to symmetric or dissymmetric steric interactions between the different substituents, as is shown by the comparison of the theoretical with the experimental shift values.
