[The substituent structures and characteristic infrared spectra of alpha-furan esters]
Abstract:
The characteristic infrared bands of the alpha-furoic esters, alpha-furancarbinol esters and alpha-furanacrylic esters were assigned, and the changing rules of the IR absorption frequency of the alpha-furan esters with alpha-substituent structure were discussed. The results indicated there are three characteristic bands in alpha-furan ring. The strong absorption at 1641 cm(-1) is assigned to the C=C double bond stretching mode in the alpha-furanacrylic esters, while the absorption at 973 cm(-1) is the out-of-plane =C-H bending mode for a trans di-substituted alkene, the strong absorption at about 1713 cm(-1) is assigned to a C=O stretch, and the three strong absorptions near 1305, 1260 and 1165 cm(-1) are due to the symmetric and assymmetric stretching vibrations of C-O-C bond in the ester groups.

Stretching frequencies are affected by several factors, such as resonance, inductive effects, ring strain, dipole moment, and hydrogen bonding. Consequently, the stretching frequency of the carbonyl double bond varies in...
