Acid-induced 13C n.m.r. chemical-shift changes of alcohol carbon atoms
Abstract
13 C N.m.r. shifts of alcohols dissolved in tetrachloromethane are displaced on addition of trifluoroacetic acid. The structure-dependent and stereoselective shift changes are useful for signal assignments, structure determination, conformational analysis, assessment of distribution of rapidly interconverting conformers, and estimation of the relative basicity of alcohols.
