Abstract
The p.m.r. spectra of 2-chloroaniline and 2-chloroaniline-15N in benzene and toluene solutions are analyzed at 60 and 100 MHz under conditions where the amino protons are exchanging intermolecularly and also where they are not exchanging. The spectrum of 2-chloroaniline-H15ND in the absence of amino proton exchange is observed between −48 and 80 °C. In all situations fast rotation about the C—N bond evidently occurs. Long-range couplings of the amino protons to all ring protons are observed and their signs are determined. The nonplanarity of the amino group is discussed in terms of the long-range couplings, of the one-bond 15N–H couplings, and of the two-bond H–H couplings in the amino group. The signs and magnitudes of the coupling constants between the ring protons and 15N are also determined.
