Formate ester band

In addition to the overtones, there are some combination bands that include the C=0 stretch. Combination bands involving C=0 and CH in ketones are weak, if they exist at all, because the two groups do not share a common carbon atom. In aldehydes and formates, however, there is a carbon atom with both a proton and an oxygen atom attached, which gives rise to a combination band in the region of 4760 to 4445 cm (2100-2200 nm). The strong formate ester band at 4650 cm (2150 nm) was assigned to C-H stretch and C=0 stretch by a deuteration study. 

The band at 1730 cm is most likely due to ester formation, the band at 1670 cm is less easily assigned but given that the phenoxy radicals are present in the early stages of photo-degradation (based on ESR work mentioned above) then quinone type species are likely candidates or some other, unsamrated carbonyl moiety. The broad band in the region 1000-1300 cm is likely to be due to various C-O stretching vibrations and is typically observed for acid peroxides [Davies, 1993]. 

If, however, the /7-nitrophenyl ester of iV-henzoyl-L-leucine is treated with 1-methyl-piperidine in chloroform for 30 min and then coupled with glycine ethyl ester, the dipeptide isolated is almost completely racemic. Furthermore, treatment of the p-nitrophenyl ester of iV-benzoyl-L-leucine with 1-methylpiperidine alone leads to the formation of a crystalline material, C13H15NO2, having strong IR bands at 1832 and 1664 cm . Explain these observations, and suggest a reasonable stmcture for the crystalline product. 

In 159 and 163-166 the tertiary amine function is coordinated to the boron atom and transmits the electronic change due to the ester formation to the chromophore. In 160-162 the boron atom is directly connected to the chromophore. After the complexation of the saccharide, the change of the charge transfer, e.g., for 159 [249-251], or the fluorescence bands, e.g., for 160-166 [252-255], can be measured and interpreted. The most selective binding of n-glucose has been achieved with host 164 that forms a 1 1 complex with a macrocyclic structure (Scheme 1). 

In the IR spectrum of the acidified polymer, the weak carboxylate band near 1560 cnT1was replaced with a new, weak carbonyl band at 1701 cm"1, attributable to methacrylic acid residues. Apparently a side-reaction, probably involving some crosslinking of the copolymer and/or formation of a new ester, was occurring in addition to cleavage of the methyl ester. 

The band at 1721 cm-1 may be due to the C = 0 stretching vibration of a carboxylic acid or ester. This band is observed in pure formic acid and in pure methyl formate at 1730 cm -1 [70]. The slight shift to lower frequency can be due to interaction with water. 

The C-O-C stretching vibration in carboxylic esters is characterized by an absorption band between 1100 cm-1 and 1280 cm-1 [70]. In the case of pure methyl formate one observes a broad band of strong intensity between 1150 and 1220 cm-1. Considering the shift in aqueous solution the band at 1230 cm-1 in Fig. 2.12 could be attributed to the C-O-C stretching vibration of methylformate. 

Bobrowski and Das33 studied the transient absorption phenomena observed in pulse radiolysis of several retinyl polyenes at submillimolar concentrations in acetone, n -hexane and 1,2-dichloroethane under conditions favourable for radical cation formation. The polyene radical cations are unreactive toward oxygen and are characterized by intense absorption with maxima at 575-635 nm. The peak of the absorption band was found to be almost independent of the functional group (aldehyde, alcohol, Schiff base ester, carboxylic acid). In acetone, the cations decay predominantly by first-order kinetics with half life times of 4-11 ps. The bimolecular rate constant for quenching of the radical cations by water, triethylamine and bromide ion in acetone are in the ranges (0.8-2) x 105, (0.3-2) x 108 and (3 — 5) x 1010 M 1 s 1, respectively.

The relative amounts of the products depend on irradiation time, and the formation of the bis (triphenyl phosphite) chromium complex may be almost completely avoided by following the reaction with thin layer chromatography. The diastereoisomers are air stable and reasonably soluble in most organic solvents. Their infrared spectra exhibit a metal carbonyl band at 1925 cm 1 (i>co ester at 1729 cm"1) and a metal thiocarbonyl band at 1925 cm"1 (CH2C12 solution). The NMR spectra.
