The earlier prediction of the preferred and the less stable rotameric conformations of isobutyraldehyde, (CH3)2CHCHO, has been confirmed experimentally by microwave spectroscopy. The compound exists mainly in a gauche conformation, in which one of the methyl groups is eclipsed by the oxygen atom, and the less stable rotamer is the trans conformation, in which the oxygen atom eclipses the isopropyl hydrogen.Ground state rotational constants (in MHz) and centrifugal distortion constants (in kHz), together with dipole moments (in D), are:Rotation spectra due to three torsionally excited states of each rotamer have been identified, along with satellites arising from CH3 internal rotation and CC2 wagging.

A method for determining the orientation of the total dipole moments of distinct rotamers of the same molecule is discussed. Utilizing solely the experimental dipole moments obtained with microwave spectroscopy (gas phase) and an approximate structure, the orientation of the dipole moment can often be determined without use of bond moment considerations. Experimental data from nine rotamer pairs are analyzed to illustrate the method.

Abstract We report the measurements of dipole moments by Microwave Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Hereby we indicate that it is worth to supplement this type of microwave spectroscopy to increase its capability.
