Abstract
Determinations of nuclear Overhauser enhancements and spin–lattice relaxation times of carbon atoms in cis-2,4-dimethylpiperidine have shown that the measured integrals in a pulsed Fourier transform 13C spectrum recorded below 220 K are an accurate indication of the molecular proportions involved, provided (a) the comparison is between protonated carbons carrying the same number of protons, and (b) the pulse repetition time is at least 2 s. The variable temperature 13C spectra of cis-4-methylcyclohexylamine, cis-4,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, and cis-4,NN-trimethylcyclohexylamine have been measured and interpreted, yielding 13C chemical shift parameters for conformations with equatorial and axial NH2, NHMe, and NMe2 groups attached to cyclohexane. The proportions of conformations obtained from the low-temperature spectra have given the following A values, in kcal mol–1: NH2 1.45 (CFCl3–CDCl3) and 1.49 ([2H8]toluene); NHMe 1.29 (CFCl3–CDCl3) and 1.11 ([2H8]toluene); and NMe2 1.53 (CFCl3–CDCl3) and 1.31 ([2H8]toluene). The A values are discussed with reference to previously reported values, and to the trend in the series NH2, NHMe, and NMe2. An A value for Me of 1.78 ± 0.12 kcal mol–1, at 193 K, was deduced from the low temperature 13C spectrum of methyl cis-4-methoxycyclohexyl ether.Keywords
