Ea. Hamed et al., UV, H-1-NMR STUDIES AND A SEMIEMPIRICAL MO CALCULATIONS OF SOME SUBSTITUTED PHENYLTHIOMETHYL BENZOIC-ACID DERIVATIVES, Spectroscopy letters, 29(4), 1996, pp. 549-564
The effect of substituents on the spectral behavior of some arylthiome
thyl benzoic acid derivatives, the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfon
es were studied. The chemical shifts of ortho hydrogen of benzyl moiet
ies gave linear correlations with Hammett constants for acid sulfides
and concave curves for sulfide esters. The effect of substituents on t
he conformation of sulfides were discussed.
