1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the conformational analysis ofortho-phenylene foldamers in solution. However, aso-phenylenes are integrated into ever more complex systems, we are reaching the limits of what can be analyzed by1H- and13C-based NMR techniques. Here, we explore fluorine labeling ofo-phenylene oligomers for analysis by19F NMR spectroscopy. Two series of fluorinated oligomers have been synthesized. Optimization of monomers for Suzuki coupling enables an efficient stepwise oligomer synthesis. The oligomers all adopt well-folded geometries in solution, as determined by1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.19F NMR experiments complement these methods well. The resolved singlets of one-dimensional19F{1H} spectra are very useful for determining relative conformer populations. The additional information from two-dimensional19F NMR spectra is also clearly valuable when making1H assignments. The comparison of19F isotropic shielding predictions to experimental chemical shifts is not, however, currently sufficientby itselfto establisho-phenylene geometries.
