Abstract

The methylene proton couplings with the unpaired electron
have been calculated for a number of pyrimidine radicals. The molecular
orbital calculations were performed in the Hi.ickel and
McLachlan approximations. The methylene group has been treated
both, directly as a member of the conjugated ring (»hyperconjugation
«) and as a perturbation of the parent molecule. Both procedures
give satisfactory agreement with the experimental results,
better in the Hi.ickel than McLachlan approximation. Complete
dissagreement has been found only for the ·5-acetyl uracil radical.
It is possible that in this case the measurements and the calculations
do not refer to the same molecular structure.
