Abstract:
Resveratrol is a polyphenol isolated from many natural sources including grapes, mulberries, eucalyptus, spruce, lilies, and peanuts. The hydroxyl groups in polyphenols can be substituted with various functional groups, allowing production of multiple derivatives. NMR spectroscopy is used to identify new derivatives. Since the complete NMR data of the known derivatives can be useful for identification of the newly isolated derivatives, here, we report the synthesis of 14 methoxylated stilbenes and four 1,2-diphenylethanes and their NMR data.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
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.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
