ortho-Substituent effects inN-arylacetamides. NMR and molecular mechanics investigation
1H, 13C, 15N and 17O NMR spectra of N-phenylacetamide (acetanilide) and 21 ortho-substituted acetanilides were measured and assigned. The observed NMR parameters are related to the Hammett substituent parameters and conformational characteristics of the acetamido moiety estimated by molecular mechanics calculations. Significant relationships were found for the 13C NMR chemical shifts of C-5 (para to substituent) and the direct spin–spin coupling constant, 1J(C, H), of C-3 (ortho to substituent) with Hammett substituent parameters. For 15N NMR chemical shifts of the amido nitrogen, no general correlation with the Hammett substituent parameters was found. The interactions between functionalit…
