Abstract
13C-13C spin-spin coupling constants in carbonyl-containing oximes were calculated in terms of the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) with account taken of the results of theoretical conformational analysis. Stable conformations of all carbonyl-containing oximes were found to have s-trans orientation of the carbonyl group in the E and Z isomers. The corresponding 13C-13C coupling constants showed a characteristic dependence upon internal rotation of the carbonyl-containing substituent, which may be used to determine predominant rotational conformations of these compounds. A relation between orientation of the C=O bond and 13C-13C coupling constants for the adjacent bonds in oximes was revealed; it may be attributed to hyperconjugation between the corresponding carbon-carbon bond and antibonding orbital of the C=O bond.
