The i.r. spectra of a series of para-substituted acetanilides have been studied in order to correlate the CO and N–H absorption with Hammett constants.A separation of the resonance and inductive effects has also been attempted. The results are compared with those obtained from the chemical shifts of Me and NH protons.
