Abstract
The O-cis : O-trans population ratio of several unsymmetrically substituted benzaldehydes has been measured by means of 13C Fourier transform n.m.r. spectroscopy at –150°, where the O-cisO-trans exchange is frozen out. The barrier to internal rotation about the phenyl–formly bond was estimated by application of dynamic n.m.r. methods to the 13C spectra at ca.–120°. ΔG Values are ca. 30 kJ mol–1.
