Methyl chemical shifts and electron densities in cyclopentadienylidenedihydropyridines
Abstract
Five methyl-substituted 2-cyclopentadienylidene-1-methyl-1,2-dihydropyridines have been prepared. The chemical shifts of the C-methyl protons are correlated with electron densities calculated in various ways. The best results were obtained by using a self-consistent version of the Hückel method.
