Petroselinie acid of 99.5-100% purity has been isolated from coriander, fennel and anise oil by acid soap crystallizations at 4C, followed by urea segregations at room temperatures.
Abstract-The rotr?tional barriers about the C-Pi bond of eight in-and p-substituted N,N-dimethyl cinnaiiiamides have been determined by the iterative total line shape WMR method. The AG$8,,-values have beer. correlated with the substituent constants 0, on and o+. By comparison of the results with literature data, some conc!usions about the accuracy of the barrier determination as well as the transmittance of po!ar effects in conjugated amides have been drawn.
I N T R O D U C T I O NSINCE 1955: much attention has been devoted to the determination of the rotational barriers about the C-N bond in amides and related compounds by the dynamic NMR method, and most of the results have been summarized in recent review^.^,^.^ According to the general conclusio!i reached at present by many authors, most of the AH* and AS*-values obtained so far are of little significance, owing to the large systematic errors introduced during the experiment and/or by the use of approximate methods of calculation. It is generally agreed now that the total line shape (TLS) analysis is the only reliable method by which accurate kinetic NMR data may be obtained. Even in such cases, discussion of the results usually coficeiitrates on the AC+-values, which seem to be much less sensitive to experimental errors and their accuracy is often believed to be within 50.1 kcal/mole or better. Unfortunately, for symmetrically N,N-disubstituted amides the real accuracy of the results cannot be checked by the independent method of equilibration.in order to use barrier height-structure correlations, study of larger series of closely related compounds under the same conditions would be particularly desirable. For this purpose, we decided to examine by the iterative TLS method, the rotational barriers in a series of N,N-dimethyl-trans-cinnamamides (1) having various polar sutstituents in the m-andp-position of the ring.'N-CH 3
Abstract-The rotational barriers about the C-N bond of the N,N-dimethylamides of propiolic, methylpropiolic and phenylpropiolic acids have beendetermined by the iterative total line shape nuclear magnetic resonance method.
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.
