Diamagnetic anisotropy is also responsible for the downfield chemical shifts of vinylic protons and aldehyde protons 4 5 6 5 ppm and 9 10 ppm respectively.
Chemical shift of vinylic protons.
These groups are not aromatic and thus do not generate ring currents as does benzene but the pelectrons circulate in such a way as to generate a magnetic field that adds to b 0 in the regions of space occupied by the protons.
Splitting between vinylic protons in alkenes depends strongly on the geometrical relation ship of the coupled protons.

Electronegative groups move to the down field left.
The chemical shift of protons connected to heteroatoms the second group of protons giving signal in this region is the ones bonded to heteroatoms such as oxygen and nitrogen.
Those bonded to carbon atoms which are in turn bonded to a highly electronegative element.
And even though the signal can be in the range from 1 6 ppm it is usually in the downfield end of this spectrum.
Those bonded to carbons which are part of a saturated system.
This is not surprising since the proton is not only vinylic but it is also alpha to a carbonyl group.
Notice that the proton closest to the carbonyl group is at a higher chemical shift than the proton in cyclohexene 6 05 ppm for cyclohexenone vs.
Table of characteristic proton nmr chemical shifts.
The electrons are said to shield the proton from the applied magnetic field and this means that less energy is necessary to excite the proton from one spin state to another and therefore its chemical shift occurs at lower frequency than it would otherwise.
We know that a proton alpha to a carbonyl group is pulled downfield.
However this particular orientation makes such a large contribution that it dominates the chemical shift.
It is important to understand trend of chemical shift in terms of nmr interpretation.
