Abstract

We studied the impact of aliphatic side chains on the stability and conformational landscape of the local anaesthetics benzocaine, butamben and isobutamben, combining high-resolution rotational spectroscopy in the microwave and millimetre regions and molecular modelling. The study reveals the connections between alkyl chain flexibility and molecular conformations.
