The conformational preferences in CCl4 solution at 32 °C of the hydroxyl groups in bromine derivatives of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene are deduced from the long-range spin–spin coupling constants between hydroxyl protons and ring protons over five bonds. Two hydroxyl groups hydrogen bond to the same bromine substituent in 2-bromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene but prefer to hydrogen bond to different bromine substituents when available, as in 2,4-dibromo-1,3-dihydroxybenzene. When the OH groups can each choose between two ortho bromine atoms, as in 2,4,6-tribromoresorcinol, they apparently do so in a very nearly statistical manner except that they avoid hydrogen bonding to the common bromine atom.

The long-range spin–spin coupling constants between protons bonded to silicon and ring protons in C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, C6H5SiH2CH3, C6H5SiHCl2, and C6H5SiH(CH3)2 are determined from the proton magnetic resonance spectra of benzene solutions. A hindered rotor treatment of the barrier to internal rotation about the C—Si bond, in conjunction with the coupling constants over six bonds, allows the deduction of the low-energy conformations for C6H5SiH(CH3)2 and for C6H5SiHCl2, as well as of barriers of 1.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol. The approach becomes less reliable for C6H5SiH2CH3 and for C6H5SiH2Cl and, particularly for the latter compound, the derived barrier is very likely an upper limit only. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations of the conformational energies are reported for C6H5SiH3, C6H5SiH2Cl, and for C6H5SiHCl2.

The CNDO/2 and INDO MO FPT values for 5Jm(F,CH3) in 3-fluoro- and 3,5-difluorotoluene are exactly reproduced by A cos2 θ + B sin2 θ + C sin2 (θ/2). Here θ is the angle by which the α C—H bond twists out of the benzene plane. Adjustment of A,B, and C to give an agreement with experiment for 3,5-difluorotoluene yields an equation, best considered empirical, which is tested by 5J(F,CH) in 3,5-difluoroethylbenzene and 3,5-difluoroisopropylbenzene. The equation reproduces 5J(F,CH) in these two compounds, the values of [Formula: see text] being derived from 6Jp(H,CH), the spin–spin coupling constants over six bonds between the α and para ring protons. 5J(F,CH) is obtained for the asymmetrical compounds, 2,3-difluorobenzylidene diacetate and 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzylidene diacetate. It is shown how 5J(F,CH) in the latter can discriminate between two conformers, each of which, on the basis of 6J(H,CH), will be characterized by a large degree of torsion about the [Formula: see text] bond.
