Dynamic (1)H NMR measurements were performed within the synthesized particular phosphorus ylide involving 4-formylphenyl phenylcarbamate. Four rotational process and thereby parameters were targeted for rotation around the CC, C-C, HCNC and OCNC bonds. The Gibbs free activation energy in CDCl3, ΔG(≠)exp, was found to be 64 ± 2, 50 ± 2, 41 ± 2 and 63 ± 2, respectively. These findings were compared with related ab initio and DFT results on simulated situation. Theoretical methods tested, were comparable to the present D (1)H NMR data.
Keywords: Ab initio; D (1)H NMR; DFT; Rotational barrier; Ylide.
