Notes:
NMR spectra of cis- and trans-2-methyl-4-halogeno-methyl-1,3-dioxolanes have been analysed at 300 MHz. Some of the extracted parameters facilitate easy distinction between these 1,3-dioxolanes and the corresponding structurally isomeric 2-Methyl-5-halogeno-1,3-dioxanes. Criteria enabling configurational assignments to be made for the cis-trans isomers of the dioxolane series are tested. The Me-2 group causes an upfield shift (0·2 to 0·3 ppm) of a trans proton at position 5, but the reversed shift for the corresponding cis proton. This competes with, or even overwhelms the effect of the CH2X-4 substituent, which by virtue of its pronounced preferential rotameric orientation and in comparison with a simple Me-group, has no large upfield effect on the shift of the syn-adjacent proton. Shift criteria and coupling constants JH-4, H-5 in cis- and trans derivatives allow further conformational insights into these 1,3-dioxolanes.
