Abstract
A combination of solid‐state ^13^C CP/MAS NMR methods was used to study the rates of rotation of the phenyl group in 3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐phenylhex‐1‐yn‐3‐ol. The methods used were T~1ρ~ measurements, lineshape analysis and 2D exchange spectroscopy over the temperature range 219–284 K. The rates of rotation obtained from the lineshape and 2D EXSY methods give an energy of activation of 58.6 ± 3.0 kJ mol^−1^. In good agreement with this, the T~1ρ~ measurements give an activation energy for the rotation of 58.7 ± 3.6 kJ mol^−1^. The two sets of data are shown to be compatible, within experimental error, with a calculated value for the dipolar carbon–hydrogen interaction (B) from an assumed molecular geometry.
