Esters infrared absorption frequencies

The role of specific interactions in the plasticization of PVC has been proposed from work on specific interactions of esters in solvents (eg, hydrogenated chlorocarbons) (13), work on blends of polyesters with PVC (14—19), and work on plasticized PVC itself (20—23). Modes of iateraction between the carbonyl functionaHty of the plasticizer ester or polyester were proposed, mostly on the basis of results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir). Shifts in the absorption frequency of the carbonyl group of the plasticizer ester to lower wave number, indicative of a reduction in polarity (ie, some iateraction between this functionaHty and the polymer) have been reported (20—22). Work performed with dibutyl phthalate (22) suggests an optimum concentration at which such iateractions are maximized. Spectral shifts are in the range 3—8 cm . Similar shifts have also been reported in blends of PVC with polyesters (14—20), again showing a concentration dependence of the shift to lower wave number of the ester carbonyl absorption frequency.

Herriott used the phosphorus epimers of 0-(-)-menthyl methylphenylphosphinoth-ioate to demonstrate the almost quantitative stereospecificity in the reaction with mCPBA by contrast, the use of trifluoroperoxyacetic acid was less successful, with a retention to inversion ratio of 21 79. A further feature in favour of mCPBA is the independence of its activity relative to solvent. Other extensive correlations were made by Inch and coworkers during investigations into the stereochemistry of displacement reactions at phosphorus in compounds based on a carbohydrate template 81 by means of structural assignments based on infrared absorption frequencies for the P=0 bond together with P NMR chemical shifts, they showed that mCPBA oxidation of thiophosphoryl or selenophosphoryl bonds (A or B = =S or =Se, B or A = Me or Ph) occurred highly stereoselectively with the formation of the phosphonate ester with retained stereochemistry ...

One of tire distinguishing physical characteristics of the cephalosporins is the infrared stretching frequency of the /i-lactam carbonyl. This absorption occurs at higher frequencies (1770-1815 cm-1) than those of either normal secondary amides (1504-1695 cm-1) or ester carbonyl groups (1720-1780 cm-1). 

Freeman et al. (1967) have developed an instrument which uses infrared absorption for the semiautomatic analysis of mixtures of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters. The method of analysis is based on the carbonyl absorption bands of triolein and cholesteryl oleate at 1745 and 1730 cm" , respectively. Sample preparation consists of an extraction of lipids from serum in such a way as to exclude phospholipids. With adequate resolution and good precision of frequency setting, measurements at the two positions can be used successfully in a standard two-component spectrophoto-metric analysis. The nonautomatic part of the system is the handling of samples. 

Fuchsman and Caughey (1967), in order to examine the properties of oxygenated hemes, have prepared pure oxo-2,4-diacetyldeuteroporphyrin IX dimethyl ester iron. From ESR and Mossbauer spectroscopy and measurement of the infrared absorption of the acetyl carbonyl, the effective oxidation state of iron in the complex appeared to be +3. Infrared absorption attributable to oxygen was close to the expected frequency for free Oj, and was suggestive of binding parallel to the heme plane. 

The partial esters of phosphoric acid show strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the solid, liquid and solution states. This is indicated by the resnlts of crystal structure determination, the characteristic frequency shifts of infrared absorption spectra and the increased molecular weights in solution as revealed by freezing point depression. 

The role of specific interactions in the plasticization of PVC between the carbonyl fimctionality of the plasticizer were proposed on the basis of results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Reported shifts in the absorption frequency of the carbonyl group of the plasticizer ester to lower wave number are indicative of a reduction in polarity. These ideas have been extended using newer analytical techniques, in particular molecular modeling and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr). 

We calculate an index of hydrogen deficiency of three. A quick glance at the infrared spectrum reveals the source of unsaturation implied by an index of three a nitrile group at 2260 cm (index = two) and a carbonyl group at 1747 cm (index = one). The frequency of the carbonyl absorption indicates an unconjugated ester. The appearance of several strong C—O bands near 1200 cm confirms the presence of an ester functional group. We can rule out a CM2 bond because they usually absorb at a lower value (2150 cm ) and have a weaker intensity than compounds that contain C=N. 

Chapman and Morrison (1966) have found NMR evidence favoring a dipolar ionic form for the phosphatidyl ethanolamines. Also, their infrared spectra of chloroform solutions favor a dipolar ionic structure. The evidence was as follows if dioleoyl-phosphatidyl ethanolamines exist in chloroform in a nonionic form, then intense bands in the 3300 cm region should occur because of NH stretching frequencies. Bands were found at 3058, 2710, 2538, and a probable band at 3021 cm , which they correlated with vibrations of an NHj group. A comparison of the spectra of dioleoyl-phosphatidyl ethanolamine and a dipolar ionic amino acid, such as alanine, showed almost identical spectra in the 4000 to 2000 cm region. The spectrum of the non-ionized compound, OL-a-alanine methyl ester in chloroform shows intense absorption in the 3300 cm region characteristic of a free primary amino group. 

In this procedmre, the phospholipids are first adsorbed on silicic acid from chloroform-acetone solution, and the nonadsorbed lipids are measured in carbon tetrachloride solution with a high-resolution infrared spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer Model 421). Absorbance readings are taken at stationary instrument settings (frequencies or wavelengths) corresponding to the carbonyl absorption peaks of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters. From suitable calibration data, concentrations of these two components can be calculated. 

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is probably the quickest and cheapest of the spectroscopic techniques in determining the functional groups of the sample. The samples can be soUds, liquids, or gases and can be measured in solution or as neat liquids mulled with KBr or mineral oil. Comparison of IR spectra of substances of known structure has led to many correlations between wavelength (or frequency) of IR absorption and features of molecular structure. Certain structural features can easily be established. For example, in an organic compound that contains only C, H and O, the oxygen can only be present as C=0,0—H, or C—O—C or a combination of these, such as the ester or carboxylic acid group.
