Proton magnetic resonance spectra of indolizine and its methyl derivatives and aza analogues

Abstract

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of indolizine, indolizine-1,3-d₂, 1- and 2-methylindolizine, 2,3-, 2,5-, 2,6-, and 2,7-dimethylindolizine and 1-, 2-, and 3-azaindolizine have been determined at 100 and/or 60 Mc/s. Unequivocal assignments have been made to all protons and the coupling constants and chemical shifts for indolizine and its aza analogues have been obtained by an iterative procedure. Long-range coupling constants involving protons separated by five and six bonds have been observed.
