Abstract
Abstract Ortho disubstituted N -sulfinyl-benzenamines were studied by spectroscopic and theoretical methods. Both ethyl and isopropyl substituents promote removal of the NSO group from the symmetry molecular plane. These R–NSO compounds maintain their syn configuration with respect to the C–N single bond and SO double bond. The analysis of the pre-resonance Raman spectra reveals enhancement of bands involving at least a π→π* transition in the NSO chromophore. The extension of the enhancements precludes interaction with the benzenic ring through π delocalisation and/or benzenic ring transitions.
