Notes:
An equation is formulated on the basis of theoretical INDO/FPT calculations which describes the angular dependence of the propanic long-range coupling constant 4JMeH in substituted HCCCH3 fragments. This equation is a truncated Fourier series in the torsion angle φ, HCCMe, which takes into account the dependence of the Fourier coefficients on the bond angle θ, CCMe. The substituent effects are assumed to be additive. Some parameters in the equation may be obtained from the 4JMeH couplings in propane and neopentane derivatives. The calculated effect upon 4JMeH of changes in the bond angle θ is significant and it seems to be in part the cause of some effects which have been attributed to conformational dependence.
