Popis: The Yukawa–Tsuno (Y–T) and Reynolds dual substituent parameter (DSP) models have been used to model 13C substituent chemical shift (SCS) of the Cβ atom of 19 series of para-substituted styrenes (X-C6H4CRCYW) with variable electronic and structural demands in the side-chain. The best fit of the Y–T model was better than that of the Reynolds DSP model for most of the studied series. A high correlation was found between the ρ value of the Y–T model and ρF value of the Reynolds DSP model. The ρ value, which reflects the sensitivity of 13Cβ SCS to the substituent field effect, was found to be influenced by the group W on the Cβ atom. A W group that enhances the para-substituent π-polarization of the side-chain has a higher ρ value than its counterpart W groups that induce counter π-polarization in the side-chain. The series with W in an E-configuration to the aryl ring has higher ρ value than corresponding Z series. A lower ρ value is observed when W induces a counter π-polarization of the side-chain (as with NO2 and COMe) or when the R substituent imposes a 65° dihedral angle between the side-chain and the para-substituted benzene ring (as with t-Bu). When the W group is a heterocyclic ring, the closer the heteroatom is to Cβ, the lower the ρ value is due to the greater counter π-polarization. The two components of the substituent effect on 13Cβ SCS, namely the field effect and resonance effect, behave inversely. The resonance demand (r+ value) increases, as the Y and/or W groups become more electron-withdrawing (EW). The series with W as a hetrocyclic ring develop negative charge at the carbon atom of the hetrocyclic ring adjacent to Cβ (and to which the styryl moiety is attached) and has a lower r+ value than those which fail to do so. The lowest r+ value was for those series with a 65° dihedral angle. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
