Rotation by n. radians about the spZ-sp3 carbonxarbon bond of the dichloromethyl group in u,u,2,3,6-pentachlorotoluene interconverts the two conformations which are characterized by coplanarity of the aromatic ring with the C-H bond of the sidechain. The ring protons undergo effective nonmutual exchange during this rotation. The rate of rotation as a function of temperature is extracted by lineshape fitting of the ring p.m.r. spectra. The rotation is characterized by a negative entropy of activation. The free energy difference between the two conformations is 50 f 20 cal/mol at 240 OK.Une rotation de n. radians autour de la liaison carbonexarbone sp2-sp3 du groupe dichlorom6thyle du pentachloro-u,u,2,3,6 toluene interconvertit les deux conformations qui sont caract6risCs par une disposition coplanaire du noyau aromatique et de la liaison C-H du substituant. Les protons du noyau changent leur environnement magnktique durant cette rotation et on peut obtenir la vitesse de rotation en fonction de la temperature par une simulation de la forme de ra,ie du spectre de rksonance magnktique. Cette rotation est caracterisie par une entropie d'activation nkgative. La diffkrence d'6nergie libre entre les deux conformations est 50 f 20 cal/mol A 240 OK.
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.
