Carbon-13 substituent chemical shifts in the side-chain carbons of aromatic systems: the importance of π-polarization in determining chemical shifts

Abstract

13 C Substituent chemical shifts of the carbonyl sites in the side-chains of meta- and para-substituted benzenes of the type XC6H4COZ have been measured. Analysis of this data using the dual substituent parameter method shows that inductive effects are predominant. The reverse inductive contribution observed is explained in terms of a π-polarization mechanism. Critical support for this mechanism is obtained from additional series where the carbonyl is complexed with Lewis acids. The concepts of ‘extened’ and ‘localized’π-polarization are discussed.
