From an analysis of the infrared spectra of dimethylaminophenols and their methiodides, along with their -N(CD3), and -N+(CD3)3 derivaties, the characteristic absorptions of the -N(CH3)2 and -N+(CH3)3 groups have been assigned. Strong absorptions near 950 cm-', generally ascribed to C-N stretching modes in a large number of compounds containing the -N+(CH3)3 group, have been found to arise from CH3 rocking modes.
EXPERIMENTALTrimethyl sulphoxonium iodide was prepared l7 by refluxing dimethyl sulphoxide with 2.25 times the stoichiometric amount of methyl iodide for 4 days. I t was deuterated thrice with D20 (99.8 %) in the presence of sodium carbonate. [2H,]Methyl iodide obtained by
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
