As differing conclusions have been drawn on the possible structure of the ester group, we consider the various conformers of methyl N-methylcarbamate, methyl ..cap alpha..,..gamma..-dimethylallophanate, and methyl methacrylate as examined by the CNDO/2 method with complete geometrical-parameter optimization. The contribution from a given conformation is estimated from the change in the total energy of the molecule. The geometry has been optimized. The total energies and dipole moments for the various conformers are given.
