27. The 1H n.m.r. spectrum of (8) (as an example) at 20 °C shows four OMe signals attributable to the CO2Me group. At 35-40°C the four signals become two and at 60-70 °C a broad singlet appears. The process is reversible upon cooling. The free energy of activation associated with carbamate resonance has been determined by n.m.r. spectroscopic methods to be approximately 16 kcal mol-1 (1 cal = 4.184J). B. J. Price, R. V.
