4.1 Alkanes

Coupling through more than one bond (|J CH | in Hz)
The coupling constants can be estimated from the corresponding 1 H- 1 H coupling
constants [2]: J CH ≈ 0.62 J HH
Typical values:
Examples:
2 J CH 1– 6
1 H–CH 2 – 13 CH 3
4.5
3 J CH 0–10
1 H–CH 2 –CH 2 – 13 CH 3 5.8
The 13 C- 1 H coupling constants for coupling across three bonds depend on the
dihedral angle in the same way as the vicinal 1 H- 1 H coupling constants (see Chapter
5.1.2):
≈ 6
≈ 0
≈ 9
13 C- 13 C Coupling Constants (|J CC | in Hz)
The 13 C- 13 C coupling constants for coupling over three bonds depend on the dihedral angle in the same way as the vicinal 1 H- 1 H (see Chapter 5.1.2) and 13 C- 1 H
coupling constants. Maximum values of approximately 4–6 Hz are observed for
dihedral angles of 0 o and 180 o and minimal values around 0 Hz at 90 o .
