Abstract
The structure and conformation of alicylic cis- and trans-2-hydroxycarboxylates were studied by gas chromatography. As these substances serve as starting materials for the synthesis of stereospecific alicylic compounds, it was of major importance to establish the stereochemical uniformity of each isomer. Further, the study of the structure and conformation of the iosmers was important per se, as these compounds, containing hydroxy and carbethoxy groups in vicinal positions, are prone to form intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Gas chromatography was the method of choice for the study of these hydrogen bonded structures.
