The existence of intermolecular or intramolecular N···H;O or N;H···O hydrogen bonding in three series (series 1, substituted 1-aminoalkyl-2-naphthols: R = H, Me, Et, Pr, i-Pr; series 2, substituted 1-;- aminobenzyl-2-naphthols: H, p-OMe, p-F, p-Cl, p-Br, p-NO2, p-Me; series 3, substituted 2-;-aminobenzyl-1-naphthols: R = H, p-Me, p-F, p-Br, p-OMe, m-NO2, m-Br) are studied by NMR spectroscopy and computed at the DFT level of theory [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)]. The correct nature of the H-bond was assigned unequivocally both experimentally and computationally by potential energy scans rotating the involved dihedral angles. We investigated the effects of substituents on the strength of the H-bond by evaluating the corresponding hyperconjugative stabilization energy nlonepair ; ;*X;H and Hammett substituent constant plots. By this means, steric and electronic substituent effects could be easily quantified and separated.
The syn and anti isomers of cis,cis-tricyclo[5.3.0.0(2.6)]dec-3-ene derivatives have been synthesized and their (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra unequivocally analyzed. Both their structures and their (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts were calculated by DFT, the latter two calculations employing the GIAO perturbation method. Additionally, calculated NMR shielding values were partitioned into Lewis and non-Lewis contributions from the bonds and lone pairs involved in the molecules by accompanying NBO and NCS analyses. The differences between the syn and anti isomers were evaluated with respect to steric and spatial hyperconjugation interactions.
The inversion of the flexible five-membered ring in tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (TH-DCPD) derivatives remains fast on the NMR timescale even at 103 K. Since the intramolecular exchange process could not be sufficiently slowed for spectroscopic evaluation, the conformational equilibrium is thus inaccessible by dynamic NMR. Fortunately, the spatial magnetic properties of the aryl and carbonyl groups attached to the DCPD skeleton can be employed in order to evaluate the conformational state of the system. In this context, the anisotropic effects of the functional groups in the H-1 NMR spectra prove to be the molecular response property of spatial nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS).
