Abstract:

The 13C NMR chemical shift for a given carbon atom in aliphatic ether molecules was related to the atomic electronegativity, polarizability and steric effects of the substituents. In this study, the relationship between 13C NMR chemical shift (δC) and the above parameters were established by multiple variable regression using 153 chemical shift values from 23 aliphatic ethers as the training set. The following formula was obtained: δC = 121.134 8+94.365 1Qi-2.082 3QiΣαx-7.634 7SH-47.614 9SO, where Qi is the partial net charge on the given atom, Σαx is the polarizability of the atoms near the given atom, SH and SO are the steric effect parameters. The stability and prediction capacity of the formula were tested using leave-one-out (LOO) cross-validation (cv) method (Rcv=0.998 0, R2 cv=0.997 7 and Scv=0.89), and confirmed by predictions of 13C NMR chemical shift of 43 different carbon atoms in 4 compounds.

Key words: 13C NMR, chemical shift, electronegativity, atomic polarizability, steric effect, aliphatic ethers
