Abstract

The conformational preferences of ethanolamine and its hydrochloride in solution were estimated by comparing experimental NMR vicinal proton-proton coupling constants to semiemprical coupling constants for each staggered rotamer, derived by the Haasnoot-Altona method. Strong gauche preferences are observed for both ethanolamine and its hydrochloride over a wide range of solvent polarities. Concentration was not observed to significantly affect the position of the conformer equilibria.
