On the basis of improved calculation models, of new NMR measurements with bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl and cyclohexyl compounds, and of literature data it is shown that classical mechanisms of sterically induced charge polarizations, of linear electric field, and of anisotropy effects can account for many substituent‐induced shielding (SIS) differences. The rǒle of steric distortions on α‐and β‐SIS is discussed; bond angle variations generated by a methyl group introduction at C‐α and subsequent hybridization changes are correlated with Cα‐Me SIS values as well as with the eq/ax shielding in cyclohexanes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
