## Abstract The reliable determination of stereocenters contained within chemical structures usually requires utilization of NMR data, chemical derivatization, molecular modeling, quantumβmechanical (QM) calculations and, if available, Xβray analysis. In this article, we show that the number of ste

β¦ Synopsis
The reactions of styrenes and stilbenes with diazoacetic esters give mixtures of cis-and trans-2-aryl-and 2,j-diarylcyclopropanecarboxy-lates. Analogous mixtures are obtained from 2- (194) and 4-vinylpyridine.
Although in the past stereochemical configuration of these isomers has been established by various methods,(1J2J3J4J5J8) we now wish to report that assignments may be made by analysis of the nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) chemical shifts of the carbomethoxy protons. The carbomethoxy group gives a sharp intense peak. The chemical shift for a series of compounds of known stereochemistry has been measured; the data are summarized in Table I. On the basis of the relationship between chemical shift and stereochemistry it is possible to assign configurations to other structurally related compounds isolated either as separate stereoisomers or as a mixture of cis-and trans-isomers. -With respect to the aryl and diaryicyclopropnne derivatives of known stereochemistry, the assignment of a resonance peak to the carbcmethoxy group is unambiguous. The partially deuterated carbomethoxy

Pseudocontact effects between a paramagnetic metal ion and its ligands have proven helpful in the past in interpreting the nmr spectrum, in particular the proton n.m.r. spectrum, of the ligands.' Unusually large chemical shifts spread out a spectrum, simplify it, and often make it amenable to first
The relationships between 13 C NMR chemical shifts of aromatic carbons and the inter-ring torsion angles (Γ) of two phenyl rings in biphenyl and its substituted derivatives were systematically examined. The chemical shifts of C1, C2 and C6 carbons (Ο C1 , Ο C2 and Ο C6 ) of the biphenyl group in the
