The circular dichroism of (–)-S-trans-1,2-di-4-pyridyloxiran
Abstract
The absorption and c.d. spectra of (–)-S-trans-1,2-di-4-pyridyloxiran has been analysed by means of the coupled oscillator model. If the directions of pyridine electric dipole transition moments given by MO theory are used, satisfactory agreement is found between calculated and experimental dipole and rotatory strengths.
