Summary
-
(1)
The rotatory dispersion of 5-quinolinoimino-d-camphor and 5-quinolinoamino-d-camphor is found in different solvents to obey Drude’s one term equation,\([a] = \frac{{k_0 }}{{\lambda ^2 - \lambda _0 ^2 }}\), it is, therefore, “simple”.
-
(2)
The sequence of rotatory power of 5-quinolinoamino-d-camphor in different solvents runs in the reverse order of the dielectric constants of the solvents and that in the case of 5-quinolinoimino-d-camphor follows the same order of the dielectric constants except with minor discrepencies.
-
(3)
The influence of quinoline and naphthalene ring on the rotatory power has been considered.
-
(4)
The reduction of 5-quinolinoimino-d-camphor to 5-quinolinoaminod-camphor resulting in a great lowering of its rotatory power, has been discussed.
-
(5)
The nature of the racemic form has also been investigated.
-
(6)
Thed-anddl-forms of 5-quinolinoaminocamphor are found to exhibit phototropy in chloroform solution.
