Abstract

For a series of meta and para substituted benzoyl isothiocyanates, the dipole moments were determined experimentally and calculated by vector addition of the bond and group dipole moments. Confirmation analysis revealed the preference of the synclinal conformation (τ ∀ 60°), which emerges from the rotation about the C(7)-N bond. MNDO calculations were also performed for the compounds, and the dipole moments obtained were compared with those from the above procedure.
