Abstract:
Normal coordinate calculations were made for 2-methyl-1-butene to aid in making vibrational assignments for both conformers. A partial solid-state IR spectrum was obtained that showed the presence of only the trans (Cs) conformer. Molecular mechanics and semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations were also made for both conformers.
