Abstract: | Conformational Investigations by Means of 13C-N.M.R.Spectroscopy. IV. Additive Calculation of the 13C-N.M.R. Chemical Shifts in 2-Bromo-cycloalkanoles and 2-Bromo-1-methoxy-cycloalkanes of Different Ring Size The 13C-n.m.r. spectra of a series of bromo-cycloalkanes, cycloalkanoles, methoxy-cycloalkanes, trans-2-bromo-cycloalkanoles and trans-2-bromo-1-methoxy-cycloalkanes (ring size n = 5, 6, 7, 8, 12) as well as cis-2-bromo-cyclododecanol and cis-2-bromo-1-methoxycyclododecane are obtained and assigned. The 13C-chemical shifts of the monosubstituted compounds have been used to estimate the substituent effects of bromo, hydroxy and methoxy groups to the α-, β- and γ-position. Using these shift parameters, the 13C-chemical shifts of the vicinal disubstituted compounds are calculated in an additive incremental manner. These 13C-chemical shifts have been compared with the experimental values and the differences are discussed with respect to the magnitude of the deviations from additivity with the dimension of steric and electronic interaction of the vicinal substituents. |
