Methyl carbamate, an isomer of glycine, is a possible candidate for interstellar detection. It might be more abundant than glycine and its dipole moment is much larger. Furthermore, using high-level quantum chemical calculations, it is shown that syn methyl carbamate has a lower energy than glycine.

β¦ Synopsis
The rotational spectra of the ground vibrational state of the cis and trans isomers of crotononitrile have been measured in the frequency region (6-420 \mathrm{GHz}). Accurate rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants have been determined for both isomers. A barrier height of (1387.2(8) \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{mole}) for the internal rotation of the methyl group of cis-crotononitrile was obtained from the analysis of the splittings. An ab initio structure has been calculated for both forms (as well as for isomers) and a near-equilibrium structure has been estimated using offsets derived empirically. The variability of the (C \equiv N) bond length and the linearity of the (\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{N}) group are discussed. 1995 Academic Press. Inc.
