The NMR proton chemical shifts of the CH, group in phenyl phenacyl sulphones (p-keto sulphones) p-X-C6H4S0,CH2COC6H4-Y-p, measured in (CD,), are used t o study transmission of the substituent effect through SO, and CO groups. Contrary to the estimation of this effect from CH,acidities [p(SO,) < p ( C 0 ) l 4 the results were that p(S0,) > p(CO), and it was shown that application of a ; gives a significantly better correlation than that with a,. These findings have been interpreted on the basis of structural data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
