The stable conformations of α-alkyl-and α, α-dialkyl-o-methoxybenzyl alcohols were deduced by measurement of their infrared and PMR spectra. Population of these conformations was estimated from the intensities of the O–H stretching bands of the free and the hydrogen-bonded species. The O–H chemical shifts at infinite dilution (δ OH∞) of the free and the hydrogen-bonded species were determined by plotting the δ OH∞ values ...
