Abstract
The rotational spectrum of isoamyl acetate, H3C–COO–(CH2)2–CH(CH3)2, has been recorded and assigned using a molecular beam Fourier transform microwave (MB-FTMW) spectrometer in the frequency range of 3–26.5 GHz. One conformer has been observed. By comparing the spectroscopic data with the quantum chemical data, it was found that the conformer observed does not have Cs symmetry. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were determined. The barrier to internal rotation of the acetate methyl group was found to be 93.98 cm−1. Due to the high number of the conformers, a systematic nomenclature will be presented.
