The dipole moments of some a : /3-and / 3 : y-unsaturated sulphones have been determined experimentally. The moments of the a : Bunsaturated sulphones are only slightly higher than those of the corresponding , ! ? : y-unsaturated sulphones. It is suggested that there is no conjugative interaction of the sulphonyl and ethenyl groups in the ground states of cc : /3-unsaturated sulphones. The data are interpreted in terms of the inductive effect of the sulphonyl group.
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.
