Abstract

According to the 13C NMR data, the chemical shift of the methyl carbon atom in acetone azine in the trans position with respect to the lone electron pair on the neighboring nitrogen atom is lower by 7 ppm than that of the methyl carbon atom in the cis position. The corresponding direct 13C-13C coupling constant for the trans-methyl groups is lower by 10 Hz as compared to the cis-methyl groups. The experimental spectral data are reproduced well by nonempirical quantum-chemical calculations. The observed stereospecificity of 13C chemical shifts and 13C-13C coupling constants may be used as an effective tool in configurational analysis of various ketone azines.
