Explain why the β carbon of an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound absorbs farther downfield in the 13C NMR spectrum than the α carbon, even though the α carbon is closer to the electron-withdrawing carbonyl group. For example, the β carbon of mesityl oxide absorbs at 150.5 ppm, whereas the α carbon absorbs at 122.5 ppm.
Although the carbonyl absorption of cyclic ketones generally shifts to higher wavenumber with decreasing ring size, the C = O of cyclopropenone absorbs at lower wavenumber in its IR spectrum than the C = O of cyclohex-2-enone. Explain this observation by using the principles of aromaticity.
