Nitrones are an interesting group of organic compounds due to their spin-trapping properties. These chemical compounds are also useful building blocks via cycloaddition reactions. In this work, a comprehensive study about correlation of selected parameters come from quantum chemical and experimental studies, namely 1H chemical shifts, IR absorption bands and UV-Vis maximum absorptions as well as reactivity descriptors such as global electrophilicity and nucleophilicity with substituent constants of Hammett, Taft, Brown and Okamoto's as well as Exner for para substituent analogues of (Z)-C-phenyl-N-methylnitrones have been study. Based on presented results it should be noted that tested models of substituent constants correlate in a satisfactory way with computational data. The opposite conclusion is observed for spectral data derived from analysis performed for synthesized nitrones. The obtained results constitute a useful element for future research on reaction mechanisms involving the tested nitrones.
