First-order 13C spectra have been obtainedfor uracil, thymine, and the 5-halouracils. The 13C chemical shifts in these compounds are correlated reasonably well with and total electroncharge densities calculated with extended-Hückel theory (EHT). In addition, for the 5-halouracils the 13C chemical shifts are correlated quite well with substituent electronegativity, Ex. Substituenteffects are discussed for the directly bonded and long-range 13C-H couplings, and correlations are obtained between these couplings and Ex for the halogens. Without excep-tion, three-bond 13C-H couplings are found to be larger thanthe two-bond couplings for this series of compounds. racil, a major constituent of ribonucleic acid (RNA), and thymine, a naturally occurring hetero-cyclic base of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), have been the subjects of previous proton nmr investigations. 2-5 Also, the 5-halouracils, particularly 5-fluorouracil, which have shown mutagenic, antiviral, and antineoplastic properties/’-8 have been studied by proton nmr. 4'5’8 However, as yet no complete 13C nmr studies have appeared for this biologically important series of compounds. Because of the experimentaldifficulties involved, very few long-range 13C-H coupling values are available for any nitrogen heterocyclic molecules. 9· 10 Recent studies of the carbonframework in nitrogen heterocycles by proton-noise-decoupled 13C nmr have proven very valuable. 11-14 In addition, 13C chemical shift studies have now been reported for naturally oc-curring nucleotides15 and nucleosides. 16-18 Theory and substituent effects for, 3C chemical shifts in aromatic molecules have been presented. 19-22 Recently, 13C
