Abstract

Cyclic voltammetry was applied as a useful tool for the detection and semiquantitative assessment of hydrogen bonding in phthalimidoalkyl and aryl carboxylic acids in solution. Both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding could be detected and were assigned on the basis of base (DBU), acid (trifluoromethanesulfonic acid), solvent (MeCN vs. DMF), concentration and scan rate effects, as well as multisweep experiments. The observation of intramolecular hydrogen bonding neatly correlates with the reactivity pattern of the corresponding phthalimido carboxylic acids in photodecarboxylation reactions.
