Abstract
Complexation of the oxygen atom in 2‐butyl phenyl ethers to a rhodium atom of the dirhodium tetracarboxylate Rh^(II)^~2~[(R)‐(+)‐MTPA]~4~(Rh*, MTPA‐H = methoxytrifluoromethylphenylacetic acid ≡ Mosher's acid) deshields an sp^3^‐hybridized ^13^C nucleus directly bonded to the ether oxygen; apparently, the inductive effect of the oxygen is enhanced when it is complexed to the rhodium atom. On the other hand, deshielding complexation shifts of aromatic ipso‐carbons (α‐positioned) are minute but ortho‐ and para‐carbon signals are influenced by the resonance effect of oxygen. This effect can be modulated by further substituents at the benzene ring. In turn, this modulation of the resonance correlates linearly ith the magnitude of the inductive effect exerted on the aliphatic α–carbon atoms. Diastereomeric dispersion effects at ^13^C signals can be observed for most compounds, indicating that enantiodifferentiation is possible in this class of ethers.
