Complete 13C NMR spectra of the axial forms of methyl‐, ethyl‐ and isopropylcyclohexane

Abstract
Low‐temperature 13C NMR spectral data have been obtained for equatorial and axial methyl‐, ethyl‐ and isopropylcyclohexane using a high‐temperature cryogenic trapping technique. 13C chemical shift differences between major and minor conformations of each compound are discussed in terms of chemical shift theories. A convenient synthesis of deuteriated dichlorofluoro‐ and difluorochloromethane, which are excellent low‐temperature NMR solvents, is also presented.
