Relationship between the magnitude of Jgem and the spatial orientation of β-substituents
Abstract
An empirical relationship between ΔJgem and a relative orientation of an electronegative substituent, X, situated β to a methylene group has been experimentally determined, where X is OH, OAc, Ph, NO2, Cl, Br, NH2, [graphic omitted]H3, and NHAc. The curves are discussed in relation to a theory of geminal coupling, and agreement is found to be good.
