1 H and 13 C NMR spectra and structure of 2-trichloromethyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of a number of 5-substituted 2-trichloromethyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes were studied. It was observed that the exocyclic double bond is in effective conjugation with the 3–0 ring atom. The configuration of the substituents was established, and a conformational model of these heterocycles of the envelope type with the 1–0 atom deviating from the plane in which the remaining ring atoms are situated is proposed. The applicability of the ¹³C NMR spectra for the determination of the configuration of the compounds is demonstrated.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1176–1180, September, 1976.
