Abstract
The methoxyl proton signals of several 3-substituted 2-carbomethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-enes and -heptanes appear as doublets because of 1H–1H coupling over five σ-bonds (5J). The dependence of these long-range coupling constants on the nature and orientation of 2- and 3- substituents is discussed in terms of the probable conformations of the 2-carbomethoxyl groups.
