Abstract

N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)acetamide shows restricted rotation about the amide bond in both ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra rendering the two hydroxyethyl groups non-equivalent. A variable temperature study in CD₃SOCD₃ allowed estimation of the free energy barrier to rotation as 75.6 ± 0.2 kJ mol^–1. Previously published data in CDCl₃ appears to be erroneous.
