Carbon‐13–fluorine‐19 coupling constants in benzotrifluorides

Abstract
The carbon–fluorine coupling constants in 33 different substituted benzotrifluorides (trifluoromethyl‐benzenes) have been determined. The 3J(CF) to the ortho aromatic ring carbons varied between 1.7 and 5.6 Hz and, in a given molecule, were always larger than the 5J(CF) to the para carbon, which ranged between 0.7 and 1.7 Hz. Coupling to the meta carbons, 4J(CF), was not observed and is under 0.3 Hz.
