Abstract
Abstract Through the analysis of the infrared spectra of methyl propionate recorded at several temperatures, two conformers were distinguished which were due to rotation about the CC bond between the α carbon and carbonyl group. An equilibrium state is discussed, with an energy difference of 1.1 ± 0.3 kcal mole−1, between a gauche and more stable cis isomer, where CH3 group eclipses the carbonyl group.
