Formation of an intramolecular phenol-amide H-bond leads to a dramatic increase in the H-bond donor strength of the amide NH group. Polarisation of the amide group is directly proportional to the polarity of the phenol H-bond donor.
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.
