Spectroscopy carboxylic acid derivatives

Infrared IR spectroscopy is quite useful in identifying carboxylic acid derivatives The, carbonyl stretching vibration is very strong and its position is sensitive to the nature of IKT the carbonyl group In general electron donation from the substituent decreases the double bond character of the bond between carbon and oxygen and decreases the stretch mg frequency Two distinct absorptions are observed for the symmetric and antisym metric stretching vibrations of the anhydride function...

The kinetics of deuterium isotope exchange between diphenyl phosphine and t-butylthiol have been studied by H n.m.r. spectroscopy.274 A negative temperature coefficient was observed for the reaction of a perf1uoroalky1 phosphite with a fluorinated aldehyde.275 The kinetics for the reaction of alcohols with phosphoryl trichloride bore strong similarities to those of carboxylic acid derivatives.276 An interesting report desribed the solvolysis of ary 1 hydroxymethyl-phosphonates. It was shown that a phosphoryl group does not prevent carbocation formation on an immediately adjacent carbon atom.277...

The reaction involves the transfer of an electron from the alkali metal to naphthalene. The radical nature of the anion-radical has been established from electron spin resonance spectroscopy and the carbanion nature by their reaction with carbon dioxide to form the carboxylic acid derivative. The equilibrium in Eq. 5-65 depends on the electron affinity of the hydrocarbon and the donor properties of the solvent. Biphenyl is less useful than naphthalene since its equilibrium is far less toward the anion-radical than for naphthalene. Anthracene is also less useful even though it easily forms the anion-radical. The anthracene anion-radical is too stable to initiate polymerization. Polar solvents are needed to stabilize the anion-radical, primarily via solvation of the cation. Sodium naphthalene is formed quantitatively in tetrahy-drofuran (THF), but dilution with hydrocarbons results in precipitation of sodium and regeneration of naphthalene. For the less electropositive alkaline-earth metals, an even more polar solent than THF [e.g., hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA)] is needed.

Different types of carbonyl groups give characteristic strong absorptions at different positions in the infrared spectrum. As a result, infrared spectroscopy is often the best method to detect and differentiate these carboxylic acid derivatives. Table 21-3 summarizes the characteristic IR absorptions of carbonyl functional groups. As in Chapter 12, we are using about 1710 cm-1 for simple ketones and acids as a standard for comparison. Appendix 2 gives a more complete table of characteristic IR frequencies. 

High-accuracy molecular dimensions for the parent monocyclic heterocycles have been determined by micro-wave spectroscopy and these can be found in Section 2.3.3.2 (Table 7). The ring dimensions obtained by X-ray diffraction for the 2-carboxylic acid derivatives of furan, thiophene, selenophene, and tellurophene (Table 3) are generally in good agreement with those obtained for the parent heterocycles using microwave spectroscopy (Table 7).
