Relative Signs of Geminal and Vicinal Coupling Constants in 1,1,4,4-Tetramethylcyclohexyl-cis-2,6-Diacetate

Abstract
The proton—proton double resonance spectrum of 1,1,4,4‐tetramethylcyclohexyl‐cis‐2,6‐diacetate is analyzed using a Hamiltonian made stationary by transformation to a rotating coordinate system. Frequency‐sweep spectra are calculated by numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, and the field‐sweep spectra are obtained by a graphical method. The geminal and vicinal proton spin—spin coupling constants in this molecule are opposite in sign.
