Abstract

Abstract: The ir and uv spectra (T+ T* transition) of 18 cis and trans a-enones, RCOCHECHMe, have been studied (R= Me, Et, Pr, i-Bu, GPr, t-Bu, neoPe,-CH (Me)-t-Bu, and-CMe2-t-Bu). The molar fractions of all the conformers are calculated from the ir spectra of the enones, assuming that the specific intensities of all the YC=,) bands are constants. For trans enones the s-trans S s-cis equilibrium is displaced toward the s-cis form when R ...
