Abstrakt: Infrared vibrational spectroscopy of 3-methylbutanone [Me(CO)iPr] leads to two conclusions: (1) The conformational identity is different in the gas phase and in various solvents. (2) In the gas phase, type B rovibrational structures are observed. Thus, the molecular symmetry is C. The following interpretation is based upon a model which implicitly takes the solvent into account in the framework of an empirical calculation. The solvent increases the interconversion barrier between two enantiomers. As a consequence, the molecule changes conformation, moving from the stable conformation with bisected carbonyl seen in the gas phase, to a conformation with an eclipsed carbonyl in solutions.
