Ml. Divona et al., ACETOXYMERCURATION OF ALKYNES - HG-199 NMR-SPECTRA OF ADDITION-PRODUCTS FROM ARYLPHENYLETHYNES, Magnetic resonance in chemistry, 36(11), 1998, pp. 797-800
Hg-199 NMR spectra were measured in acetic acid, dichloromethane and c
hloroform for a series of mercurated arylphenylethenes derived from th
e acetoxymercuration of alkynes. Good linear correlations between Hg-1
99 chemical shifts and Hammett sigma values, UV absorption maxima and
calculated mercury atomic charge were obtained and are explained on th
e basis of electronic substituent effects. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons,
