Abstract The intramolecularly hydrogen bonded OH group sterically alters the spatial distance between the sites of solute-solvent interaction, and the larger spatial distance causes a weaker solute-sovent interaction. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding also causes the carbonyl group to be relatively less basic which decreases the strength of an intermolecular hydrogen bond formed between the solute and the acidic proton of the solvent. Therefore, there is a smaller vC=O . * * HO frequency decrease compared to vC=O for similar compounds not intramolecularly hydrogen bonded in going from solution in Ccl, to solution in CHCl,, or (CH,),SO.

1. Introduction In this laboratory, we have obtained structural information from IR and Raman studies on solutesolvent interactions [l-26]. In our present study of intramolecularly hydrogen bonded carbonyl containing compounds, we were interested in determining how the OH group affects interaction of the C=O group with different solvents. The solvent acceptor number (AN) was developed by Gutmann, and AN is reported to be a measureof solvent electrophilicity. The AN value is defined as a dimensionlessnumber related to a relative chemical shift of 31P in (C,H,),P=O in that particular solvent, with hexane as a reference solvent on one hand, and

The AN values of a solvent are thought to be useful in predicting vibrational group frequency data of chemicals in a particular solvent, and this study tests the validity of this concept.
2. Experimental Infrared spectra were recorded with the Nicolet 710 FT-IR system which is purged with dry nitrogen in order to exclude ambient air from the sample compartment. The compounds used in this study were purchased from Aldrich or Merck, and were studied without further purification. Carbonyl compounds were prepared as 1 g/100 ml in Ccl, solution and in CHCl, solution. Mole% solutions of CHC13/CCl, were preparedusing stock solutions of

for the solvents (nos. 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 16-19) for phenyl salicylate shows that there is a reasonably linear correlation. Thus, in the case of phenyl salicylate in methyl and ethyl alcohol the lower frequency band actually results from a uC=O mode that is both intra- and intermolecularly hydrogen bonded which we designate uC=O...(HO),. We did not observe K=O...(HO), for phenyl salicylate in solution with isopropyl or tert-butyl alcohol (solvents nos. 17 and 14). These data again show that the AN values for the alkyl alcohols include the energy required for intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The AN values for the alcohols surrounding the solute molecules, but not forming intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the C=O group, can be estimatedby extrapolation of the solvent points 14, 17-19 onto the plots including solvents 1 and 16 with subsequentextrapulation to the AN axis. Fig. 1 also showsthat all three compoundsexhibit similar correlation in solution with solvents 9 (acetonitrile), 12 (methylene chloride), and 15 (chlo-

reform), and these plots occur at higher frequency than me three plots that include solvents 1 (hexane) and 16 (dimethyl sulfoxide). These three solvents contain relatively acidic CH,, CH,, or CH protons which can intermolecularly hydrogen bond with a C=O group. This suggeststo us that their AN values also include energy for intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In the present cases,the carbonyl group is already intramolecularly hydrogen bonded, and steric factors of the OH group also prevent normal solutesovent interaction with the carbonyl group. Thus, the intramolecular hydrogen bond occupiesone available bonding site of the carbonyl group which sterically prevents an intermolecular interaction or intermolecular hydrogen bond between the solute and solvent at the site of intramolecular hydrogen bond with the carbonyl group. The basicity of the carbonyl group is less when intramolecularly hydrogen bonded, and this also alters the strength of, for example, an intermolecular hydrogen bond formed between the solvent and solute.

Fig. 2 shows plots of the vC=O * * * HO vs. the frequency difference between vC=O . * * HO in hexane and vC=O * . * HO (solvent). This type of plot is always linear, and it has no theoretical chemical significance. They do serve to show that the points on the three plots are not in the same numerical sequence. Steric differences between the solute and solvents prevent the exact solute-solvent interaction in each case, and this we believe is why the vC=O frequency shift is not the same for each of the compounds in the same solvent. Table 4 compares the vC=O * s * HO frequencies for 2-hydroxyacetophenone, methyl salicylate, and phenyl salicylate vs. the vC=O frequencies for acetophenone, methyl benzoate, and phenyl benzoate in different solvents, respectively. These comparisons show that the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded vc=o * * * HO group lowers the VC =0 bond frequency in the range 42.7-47.6 cm-‘. Part of the frequency decrease is the result of intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The chemical effect (induction

and resonance) of the hydroxyl group would also contribute toward lowering of the vC=O frequency. The field effect of the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group upon the carbonyl group raises the vC=O frequency. The overall effect is that hydrogen bonding and the induction and resonance contributions overrides any contribution from the field effect. Tables 5-7 list IR data for 2-hydroxyacetophenone, methyl salicylate, and phenyl salicylate in CHClJCCl, solutions, respectively. In going from Ccl, solution to CHCl, solution, the vc=o * . * HO frequency for 2-hydroxyacetophenone, methyl salicylate, and phenyl salicylate decreases by 3.8, 4.3, and 4.8 cm-‘, respectively.

and by 10 cm-’ in going from solution in Ccl, to solution in (CH,),SO [8]. In the case of acetophenone, vC=O decreases 9 cm-’ in going from solution in Ccl, to solution in (CH,),SO [8]. The uc=o * * * HO frequency decreases are less than those for uC=O in going from solution in CHCl, or (CH,),SO, and this we attribute to the fact that in the former case the C=O group is intramolecularly hydrogen bonded, and the OH oxygen atom also is a steric factor in solute-solvent interaction. In addition the C=O - * * HO bond makes the C=O group relative less basic due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. These factors effect solute-solvent interaction, and accounts for the observed vC=O * * * HO and uC=O shifts in different solvents. Figs. 3-5 show plots of uC=O * . .

These are between 0 and 23 mole% CHCl,/CCl,, 23 and 68.7 mole% CHCl,/CCl,, and between 68.7 and 100 mole% CHClJCCl,. These data show that as the mole% CHCl,/CCl, is increased different CHCl,/CCl, complexes are formed with the solute, and these complexex cause vC=O * * * HO to decrease in frequency.

4. Conclusions The intramolecularly hydrogen bonded 2-hydroxy compounds exhibit vC=O * * * HO at lower frequency than vC=O for similar compounds which are not intramolecularly hydrogen bonded. Hydrogen bonding is one reason the vC=O frequency is lowered. Another reason is that the inductive and resonance contributions of the OH group through the phenyl group to the carbonyl group weakens the C=O bond, and hence lowers the frequency. Apparently, the above effects more than off-set the field effect of the OH oxygen atom which raises the vC=O frequency. The 2-hydroxy group sterically alters the spatial distance between the sites solutesolvent interaction, as well as decreases the overall basicity of the carbonyl group. Therefore, the
* * HO vibration does not shift as much to lower frequency in going from solution in CCl, to solution in CHCl,, or (CH,),SO. Steric factors between solute and solvent is the reason the AN values for the solvents cannot be used to predict exact uC=O frequencies in different solvents.
