Infrared study of N-butylbenzamide - aromatic donor systems

Abstract

This paper is a part of an extensive study devoted to the behaviour of N-substituted amides in solutions (ref.1,2). N-n-butylbenzamide (NnBBA), N-iso-butylbenzamide (NiBBA) and N-tert-butylbenzamide (NtBBA) have been studied in CCl4 - aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene and toluene) solutions by means of IR spectra, using NH fundamental stretching vibration region. Also, NtBBA systems have been examined by UV spectroscopy. On the other hand, NnBBA systems were subjected to gas chromatographic measurements. 1:1 hydrogen bonded complex formation between amide and the aromatic hydrocarbons is considered on the basis of the obtained results. © 1984.
