Abstract
Raman, infrared, and 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl pivalate, 2-(pivaloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium iodide, poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] and of its quaternary iodide were measured. Spectral analysis revealed that in crystalline 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl pivalate and in its quaternary salt, the 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl group exists in the g conformational state. In the liquid state, these compounds also contain a smaller amount of the t conformational structure of the 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl group. In poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] and in its quaternary iodide in solution, the population of the g and t conformational structures are similar to those found in 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl pivalate and in its quaternary iodide.
