Stretching carbonylic

The monodentate acetates are associated with a stretching carbonyl band contributing to the intensity in the high frequency shoulder of the broad A band (1650 cm" ). Other absorptions of such ester species are at lower frequencies ( V<1400 cm ). 

The principal bands in this region are due to C=C and C=0 stretching. Carbonyl stretching is one of the easiest absorptions to recognise in an infrared spectrum. It is usually the most intense band in the spectrum, and depending on the type of C=0 bond, occurs in the region 1830-1650 cm i. It should be noted, however, that metal carbonyls may absorb above 2000 cm. ... 

Hammen equation A correlation between the structure and reactivity in the side chain derivatives of aromatic compounds. Its derivation follows from many comparisons between rate constants for various reactions and the equilibrium constants for other reactions, or other functions of molecules which can be measured (e g. the i.r. carbonyl group stretching frequency). For example the dissociation constants of a series of para substituted (O2N —, MeO —, Cl —, etc.) benzoic acids correlate with the rate constant k for the alkaline hydrolysis of para substituted benzyl chlorides. If log Kq is plotted against log k, the data fall on a straight line. Similar results are obtained for meta substituted derivatives but not for orthosubstituted 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...

Hydrogen bonding to a carbonyl group causes a shift to lower frequency of 40 to 60 cm k Acids, amides, enolized /3-keto carbonyl systems, and o-hydroxyphenol and o-aminophenyl carbonyl compounds show this effect. All carbonyl compounds tend to give slightly lower values for the carbonyl stretching frequency in the solid state compared with the value for dilute solutions.

Infrared spectra of fats and oils are similar regardless of their composition. The principal absorption seen is the carbonyl stretching peak which is virtually identical for all triglyceride oils. The most common appHcation of infrared spectroscopy is the determination of trans fatty acids occurring in a partially hydrogenated fat (58,59). Absorption at 965 - 975 cm is unique to the trans functionaHty. Near infrared spectroscopy has been utilized for simultaneous quantitation of fat, protein, and moisture in grain samples (60). The technique has also been reported to be useful for instmmental determination of iodine value (61). 

Spectral Characteristics. The iafrared stretching frequency of the penicillin P-lactam carbonyl group normally occurs at relatively high frequencies (1770 1815 cm ) as compared to the absorptions for the secondary amide (1504-1695 cm ) and ester (1720-1780 cm ) carbonyl groups. 

The infrared carbonyl stretching frequencies of n- and isobutyraldehyde in the condensed phase occur at 1727.6 and 1738.0 cm , respectively (38). The proton nmr spectra of both aldehydes are weU-known (39).

IR spectroscopy has been particularly helpful in detecting the presence of keto tautomers of the hydroxy heterocycles discussed in Section 3.01.6. Some typical frequencies for such compounds are indicated in Figure 4. Here again the doublets observed for some of the carbonyl stretching frequencies have been ascribed to Fermi resonance. 

The role of IR spectroscopy in the early penicillin structure studies has been described (B-49MI51103) and the results of more recent work have been summarized (B-72MI51101). The most noteworthy aspect of a penicillin IR spectrum is the stretching frequency of the /3-lactam carbonyl, which comes at approximately 1780 cm" This is in contrast to a linear tertiary amide which absorbs at approximately 1650 cm and a /3-lactam which is not fused to another ring (e.g. benzyldethiopenicillin), which absorbs at approximately 1740 cm (the exact absorption frequency will, of course, depend upon the specific compound and technique of spectrum determination). The /3-lactam carbonyl absorptions of penicillin sulfoxides and sulfones occur at approximately 1805 and 1810 cm respectively. The high absorption frequency of the penicillin /3-lactam carbonyl is interpreted in terms of the increased double bond character of that bond as a consequence of decreased amide resonance, as discussed in the X-ray crystallographic section. Other aspects of the penicillin IR spectrum, e.g. the side chain amide absorptions at approximately 1680 and 1510 cm and the carboxylate absorption at approximately 1610 cm are as expected.
