CORRELATION OF 13C–H AND 13C–C–H COUPLING CONSTANTS OF THE FORMYL GROUP IN SUBSTITUTED BENZALDEHYDES WITH HAMMETT σ CONSTANTS

Abstract
The values of 13C–H and 13C–C–H coupling constants of the formyl group in substituted benzaldehydes followed the Hammett equation. The ρ(JC–H) value was found to be considerably larger than that for substituted toluenes. Values for ρo (JC–H) and ρo(JC–C–H) are also discussed.
