Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance data have been acquired on 22 azoloazines. Chemical shifts have been correlated by a step-wise linear multiple regression with nitrogen substituents in both the 5- and 6- membered rings using pyrrolo [1,2-a] pyridine as the reference for chemical shift correlation. The data demonstrate that a highly correlated set of chemical shift parameters exist. Nitrogen substitution in the five-membered ring produces larger cross-ring effects than is observed in the five-membered ring when substitution occurs in the six-membered ring. Within the six-membered ring a constant para-substituent parameter is noted. The meta- and para- parameters are more complex and fall into two groups for each parameter. Within the five-membered ring, a highly regular chemical shift pattern is observed which reflects an attenuated perturbation from nitrogen substitution in the six-membered ring.
