Abstract
The solvent shifts (Δ=δ CCl4 –δ C6H6 or δ CCl4 –δ C6D6 p.p.m.) of proton resonances in some α,β-unsaturated acids, esters, nitriles, halides, and nitro-compounds have been determined. In general preferential shielding in benzene solution of the protons trans to the polar substituent is observed. The solvent shifts are therefore of assistance in the determination of stereochemistry in such compounds. The solvent shift method is used to confirm previous stereochemical assignments in geranic and phytenoic acids.
