Abstract
INTRAMOLECULAR interactions between the O—H group and the ortho-substituent in ortho-substituted phenols have heretofore been classified as being either repulsive1,2 or attractive3. This dichotomy has been justified on the basis of observable infra-red spectroscopic parameters of the hydroxyl group, such as frequencies and intensities of the appropriate absorption bands.
