Abstract
Substituted 2-bromo-1-phenylglyoxal 2-phenylhydrazones IIIa-f exist in tetrachloromethane or benzene solutions prevailingly in E-configuration and in conformation A with an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The latter was evidenced by the N-H valence frequency at 3 290 cm-1 and by 1H NMR shifts with reference to derivatives without a carbonyl group - α-chlorobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazones V. From dipole moments of IIIa-d, measured in benzene solution, the contribution of the hydrogen bond (μH) was evaluated to 17 . 10-30 C m. This quantity is twice larger than in any other reported compound but the direction of the vector is as usual: approximately from H to N. In structurally similar derivatives of hydroxylamine, substituted 2-phenylglyoxylhydroximoyl chlorides IVa-d, no intramolecular hydrogen bond was detected; the dipole moments found were interpreted in terms of the Z-configuration and the prevailing conformation G.
