Abstract
IT is well known that the hydrogen bond gives rise in phenols to a large shift of the hydroxyl proton1–6. In a variety of compounds in which the OH groups are intermolecularly bonded, several workers have examined the chemical shifts of the hydroxyl proton in both the mono-meric and polymeric compound, through the signal frequency variation which follows dilution in solvents.
