Experimental and theoretical NMR study of 4-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)pyridine

Abstract

H-1, C-13, DEPT, COSY, NOESY and HETCOR NMR spectra of 4-(3-cyclohexen-1-yl)pyridine (4-Chpy) have been reported for the first time. H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shifts of 4-Chpy (C11H13N) have been calculated by means of the Hartree-Fock (HF) and Beeke-3-Lee-Yang-parr (B3LYP) density functional methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Comparison between the experimental and the theoretical results indicate that density functional B3LYP method is superior to the scaled HF approach for predicting NMR properties
