Abstract
Two series of aromatic enol ethers deriving from 1-methoxy-1-phenyl ethylene and from 1-methoxy-1-phenyl 2-methyl propene have been studied by 13C NMR. Comparisons between the chemical shifts of these enol ethers and those of styrene on the one hand, and aliphatic enol ethers on the other, led us to conclude that the non-coplanarity of the phenyl ring with the double bond and/or the non-coplanarity of the OCH 3 group with the same double bond play a prominent role in determining the chemical shift values of the ethylenic carbons. Para-substitution on the phenyl ring induces chemical shift variation not only in the aromatic moiety itself but also in the ethylene part of the molecule. The significance of the observed Hammett correlation is discussed.
