Listowsky, Irving; Avigad, Gad; Englard, Sasha published the artcile< Conformational equilibria and stereochemical relations among carboxylic acids>, HPLC of Formula: 617-55-0, the main research area is acyclic acid conformation; conformation acyclic acid; circular dichroism acyclic acid.
The CO spectra of certain acyclic carboxylic acids were surveyed in an effort to study their conformation in solution In aqueous solution the spectra of many α-hydroxy acids were characterized by two overlapping ellipticity bands; a weak one in the 240-mμ spectral region and a more intense one of opposite sign near 210 mμ. At elevated temperatures or in solvents of low dielec. constant, the band of longer wavelength increased in intensity with an attendant decrease in the short-wavelength band. These properties are compatible with the presence of two structural species in equilibrium, and could be related to the contributions of specific rotational isomers of the acids. Conformations with the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in an eclipsed alignment are designated as preferred. In contrast to the α-hydroxy acids, carboxylic acids with α-alkyl substituents generally showed only a single dichroic band centered near 210 mμ. In general, coplanarity of the carboxyl group and α-substituents was assumed, and interpretations in terms of the preferred orientation of substituents adjacent to the carboxyl group are suggested. The proposed population of rotational isomers was consistent with the observed effects of solvent polarity, temperature, polarity of substituents, and predicted steric interactions. An empirical rule relating the sign of ellipticity and the conformation of these classes of carboxylic acids was applied.
