Abstract:
A set of regioisomeric pairs of tricyclic hydroquinones, analogues of antitumor 9,10-dihydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,8-dihydroanthracen-1(4H)-one (1) and other derivatives, were synthesized and their regiochemistry and NMR spectra assigned by using (1)H-detected one-bond (C-H) HMQC and long-range C-H HMBC, in good agreement with theoretical O3LYP/Alhrichs-pVTZ calculations. The 5-hydroxymethyl derivatives (11, 15, 19) showed a (3)J(H, H) coupling constant of methylene protons evidencing the presence of a seven-membered intramolecular hydrogen bonded ring, not observed for the 8-hydroxymethyl isomers.

Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
