Chemical shift nonequivalence and syn-anti-isomerization in an N-benzenesulphonylimine

Abstract
A combination of methods employing diastereomeric transformation and n.m.r. line-shape analysis have been used to determine the activation parameters over a 100° temperature range (ΔH= 15·7 kcal./mole and ΔS=– 2 e.u.) for synanti-isomerization of N-(1,2,3-trimethyl-2-butenylidene)benzenesulphonamide.
