Abstract

Doublets can be observed for carbons α and β to the hydroxyl in aliphatic alcohols containing equimolar amounts of OH and OD dissolved in (CH~3~)~2~SO containing CaSO~4~ desiccant. Isotopic doublets are also observed for the ipso and ortho carbons in alkyl substituted phenols. Para isotopic doublets are observable in para‐substituted phenols containing a large 2‐substituent. The isotope shift is positive (low field) for the para carbon, opposite to the negative shifts usually observed.
