Shoolery rule

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Shoolery's rule , named after James Nelson Shoolery , the chemical shift δ of methylene groups in NMR spectroscopy can be estimated to a good approximation with a so-called increment system based on the type of the two substituents A and B (A – CH 2 –B) become.

The increments S are purely empirical parameters and have been tabulated for many different substituents (selection):

Substituent S / ppm
-CH 3 0.47
–COOR 1.55
–COR 1.70
-C 6 H 5 1.83
–SR 1.64
–I 1.82
–Br 2.33
–OR 2.36
-Cl 2.53
-OH 2.56
–OCOR 3.13

The system can also be transferred to methine protons (CH group with three substituents); the increments in this modified increment system are then the same for methylene and methine protons. Such systems have also been established for protons on C = C double bonds and benzene rings , but the incremental values ​​there depend on the relative position of the substituents (cis, trans, gem, or ortho, meta, para).
