Abstract
It is shown that cis or trans stuctures of aryl-carboxy disubstituted cycle propanes can be directly, rapidly and easily determined by H-1 NMR with no need of comparing both cis and trans isomers when vicinal coupling constan ts are in the range of 8-9 Hz (cis-isomer) or 4-6 Hz (trans-isomer). More, when the precision of the H-1 NMR is +/- 0.5Hz (the usual conditions), the most deshielded signal is a 'ddd' for the trans isomer and a 'q'(quadruplet )for the cis isomer.
