Abstract (provisory).
The 13C and 1H NMR a-substitution
effects of twelve substituents of (-H, -F, -Cl, -Br, -OMe, -OEt, -SMe,
-SEt, -SMe2, -NEt2, -Me, -Et) in four classes of
a-substituted
organic compounds (acetones, acetic acids, methyl acetates, 2-methy propenes)
were studied by means of chemometric methods Principal Component Analysis
(PCA), Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), the K-th Nearest Neighbor (KNN)
and Soft Independing Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA) applied to 18 molecular
parameters calculated at Hartree-Fock 6-31G(d,p) level and 6 parameters
determined experimentally. The classification methods (PCA, HCA)
showed that the NMR chemical shifts (the most important are those for a-H
and a-C atoms) are mainly related to parameters
accounting for inductive effects (depending on the nature of heteroatoms).
The pattern recognition methods (KNN, SIMCA) showed efficient in classification
of samples that belong to the investigated groups. Similar trends in properties
of samples from the same class indicate that other possible samples from
the same group have similar and predictable properties.
