Abstract
The dipole moments of methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, amyl, and phenyl chloroformate as well as n-butyl formate in dilute benzene solution at 25 °C were determined. The experimental results suggest that the configuration of the chloro-esters differs from the configuration of the unchloroinated esters, viz. the ester hydrocarbon group and the chlorine atom are cis to each other.
