Abstract
The conformational study by X-ray diffraction of 12 aroyl esters of ortho-acetyl phenols is reported. The data are supported by theoretical calculations and described in terms of co-planarity, intramolecular steric interference, and intermolecular contacts. The observed hindrance was correlated with the C=O stretching vibration values in infrared spectroscopy.
