detected as two doublets standing for pseudo-AB spin systems like in 67 & 69. This indicates<br />
the presence of identical half-spaces like it can be expected. Furthermore, the analogy to<br />
mono-functionalized 53 96 is visible as the signals for the 15-phenyl substituent are<br />
concerned, which show a significant line broadening. Thus, the system seemingly becomes<br />
more flexible in the most distant areas in respect to the annulation sites.<br />
In the 13 C NMR spectrum, unfortunately, the signals appear non-resolvable as the “free”<br />
phenyl rings seem too similar.<br />
Alike the aromatic region, the remainder areas of the 1 H NMR spectra show up swayed by<br />
the positioning of the two exocycles influencing the chemical shifts of the methylene<br />
protons therein as well as the one of the inner ring amine protons (Table 20).<br />
Table 20. Comparison of the chemical shifts δ of the resonances for the exocyclic methylene<br />

CDCl3 at rt. δ values given in ppm.<br />
Compound Annulated positions δH(CH2) ΔδH(CH2) δH(NH)<br />
67 3 & 17 5.15/4.05 <strong>1.1</strong>0 -0.17<br />
68 3 & 13 5.45/4.09 1.36 -0.94<br />
69 3 & 17 5.16/4.04 <strong>1.1</strong>2 -0.15<br />
70 3 & 13 5.46/4.10 1.36 -0.93<br />
71 3 & 7 4.37/3.85 0.52 -1.36<br />
Concerning the methylene bridges, the corresponding signals are shifted more downfield as<br />
the distance between the annulated positions grows. This effect is going in hand with an<br />
augmentation in the spectral distance ΔδH of the corresponding doublets. All this implies an<br />
enhancing distortion which seems to be logic as the more distance is in between the rigid<br />
ketone moieties, the more impact can be exerted. For example, the ketones in 71 influence<br />
each other due to their close proximity as those in 68 or 70 have more or less independently<br />
impact on the core system.<br />
The deviation from planarity is also affecting the resonances of the inner ring amine protons<br />
even though not in exactly the same fashion since now, also conjugational effects have to be<br />
taken into consideration. That was not applicable on the discussion before as the peripheral<br />
phenyl substituents appear electronically decoupled in computational analyses. 100<br />
