Abstract

Six series of 2-X-5-Y-substituted furans were used for multivariate regression of 13C NMR chemical shifts with four substituent shift increments (SSI). Some of these series were measured in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 on different spectrometers to exclude possible sources of deviation from the general trends. Program ASSIGN was written for visual and numerical estimation of correct assignment of 13C NMR spectra in the series of derivatives. Multivariate regression proved that the corresponding position in benzenes and furans are not affected by the substituents in the same way: in 2-X-5-Y-substituted furans, the "ortho" position requires correction for the different bond order, the "meta" 13C chemical shift is probably affected by change in diamagnetic contribution of the Y group, and "para" position behaves like another "ortho" position in the molecule.
