%X A number of model benzyl fluoride systems have been synthesized, and their proton-decoupled natural-abundance 13C n.m.r. spectra recorded and assigned. An analysis of the long-range five-bond coupling constants (5JCF) indicates that these parameters are predominantly a manifestation of hyperconjugation involving the CF &#963; bond. The utilization of these parameters as conformational probes is demonstrated.
