13C NMR Chemical Shifts - a Conformational Probe for 1-Alkoxyalkyl Esters

Eighteen 1-alkoxyalkyl formates, acetates and propionates, , have been analysed by 13C NMR spectroscopy.When the chain length of R1, R2 or R3 increases, the 13C NMR resonances of C1, C2 and C3, respectively, shift to lower field.In addition to the primary substituent effects there are a few but minor interactive influences which, however, are clearly significant.All of these effects can be used to predict the most favoured conformation of the 1-alkoxyalkyl esters.
