Abstract
The C-13 magnetic resonance chemical shifts of quinolizidine and cis-and trans-4-methylquinolizidine were examined. The correlations between the stereochemistry of these compounds and results on their C-13 chemical shifts and protonation and quaternization effects were examined. trans-4-methylquinolizidine was concluded to have a trans-fused ring and an axial methyl proup. The C-H coupling constants of those compounds were also examined.
