The carbon-13 satellite peaks in the proton magnetic resonance spectra of 1,3-dioxole and bis-1,3-dioxolyl are analyzed under single and double resonance conditions to yield the signs and magnitudes of proton–proton coupling constants over three, four, and five bonds, and of proton–carbon-13 coupling constants over one, two, and three bonds. The conformational behavior of bis-1,3-dioxolyl contrasts sharply with that of analogous sym-tetrasubstituted ethane derivatives. It is indicated that the two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the ethanic fragment can be used for conformational analysis in a manner similar to vicinal proton–proton couplings. The vicinal three-bond proton–carbon-13 couplings are given for dihedral angles of 180 and 120° and their relative magnitudes are as expected from a Karplus relationship. The two-bond proton–carbon-13 coupling in the olefinic fragment is, at 20.0 Hz, the largest coupling known for such a bond.
