✦ Synopsis
The barriers to rotation about the C-N bond in eighteen substituted N,N-dimethylbenzamides have been determined by complete line shape analysis of the N M R spectra of the N,Ndimethyl protons. The barriers have been correlated with the substituent constants cr and u b . It has been shown that polar solvents increase the barrier in N,N-dimethylbenzamide.
Acid catalysis of rotation about the amide C-N bond in N-@-N,N-dimethylcarboxamidobenzy1)pyridinium bromide has been investigated. l80 exchange studies show that catalysis is due to Nprotonation rather than the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. The rate of rotation is a function of the Hammett acidity function, H,, and the water activity, and it is shown that proton exchange between the N-and 0-protonated species involves the intermediacy of a water molecule.
The differences in chemical shifts for the non-equivalent N,N-dimethyl groups of the benzamides are also a function of the substituents. Possible explanations of this phenomenon are discussed.
