Analytical Applications of Raman Spectroscopy in Organic Chemistry: Influence of the Position, Stereochemistry and Substitution Pattern of the Double Bond on the ν(CC) and ν(sp2-CH) Stretching Bands in the Raman Spectra of Alkenyl Methyl Ethers

Abstract

The Raman spectra of 29 alkenyl methyl ethers, C_nH_2n–1OMe, of diverse structure containing up to seven carbon atoms reveal reliable correlations between the wavenumber of the ν(CC) and ν(sp²-CH) stretching bands and the position, stereochemistry and substitution pattern of the double bond.
