Abstract
The chemical shifts of the ring-proton spectra of a series of substituted anilines are reported relative to internal benzene in the solvents carbon tetrachloride and trifluoroacetic acid. The substituent parameters in cyclohexane derived by Martin can be used together with our parameters for the para-fluoro and -ammonio (NH3+) groups to demonstrate additivity of the substituent effects in both carbon tetrachloride and trifluoroacetic acid. The somewhat puzzling ring-proton shifts in the latter solvent are attributed to counterion effects arising from a juxtaposition of the two centers of charge. Steric hindrance to π-overlap of the amino group with the ring is demonstrated in certain cases and a parallel behavior is found between the ring-proton shifts and the electronic spectra of these molecules.
