The ir spectra of 89 saturated aliphatic-branched and straight-chain esters are reported for the region 350–50 cm−1 and empirical correlations of the band frequencies are classified by the alcohol component. It is found that there is no consistent series of bands for all samples studied but within the individual classes, several discrete areas of absorption are specified. This verified that these vibrations are more sensitive to structural differences than the higher-frequency characteristic group frequencies and are more specific in the total identification of a given, sample.
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.
