Abstract

Carbon-13 relaxation times in the rotating frame were used to study the exchange between unequally populated rotamers of 2-furaldehyde. Calculated free activation energy and activation enthalpy are in good agreement with the results of 1H line shape analysis. Accuracy and reliability of this method in comparison with the line shape analysis is discussed.
