(Energies of organic compounds): Progress report

OSTI ID:6626156

A procedure has been developed for determining the enthalpy of reduction of carbonyl groups, and has been successfully applied to aldehydes, ketones and esters. The enthalpies of hydrolysis of lactones have been determined and have been compared with that of esters having the same number of carbons. The enthalpies of hydration of alkenes which lead to tertiary alcohols have been measured giving exo/endo energy differences as well as the enthalpies of formation of the alcohols. An automated vaporization calorimeter has been constructed and has been applied to a number of compounds. The experimental studies have been supplemented by calculations of rotational barriers, and of substituent effects. 18 refs.
