Conformations of mesityl 1-naphthyl ketone and mesityl 2-naphthyl ketone
Abstract
Dipole moments and molar Kerr constants (×1012) at 25 °C are reported for mesityl 1-naphthyl ketone (2·85D, –132) and mesityl 2-naphthyl ketone (3·21D, +333) as solutes in carbon tetrachloride. Analysis of results yields information concerning the preferred conformations of these molecules.
