โฆ Synopsis
The structure and configuration of the C4-dimers of 2-ethoxy-2-methoxy-1,4-naphtho uinone and related compounds are elucidated from an extensive 1H and 7 3C n.m.r. study.
The importance of the sign of the proton-proton and 13C-1H coupling constants in determining the structures of these type of compounds is discussed.
The assignment of signals was accomplished by selective population inversion (SPI) experi= ments.
The use of reductive cleavage reactions to support structure deductions is also demonstrated.
This approach to structural analysis should facilitate the characterisation of other cyclobutane compounds.
