C) and ν(sp2-CH) Stretching Bands in the Raman Spectra of Alkenyl Methyl EthersRichard D. Bowen, Howell G. M. Edwards, Dennis W. Farwell, Irene Rusike† and Darren M. Saunders†
The Raman spectra of 29 alkenyl methyl ethers, CnH2n–1OMe, of diverse structure containing up to seven carbon atoms reveal reliable correlations between the wavenumber of the ν(C
C) and ν(sp2-CH) stretching bands and the position, stereochemistry and substitution pattern of the double bond.
