N2  - Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to deduce the preferred gas-phase conformations of vinyl formate and vinyl acetate. In addition, experimental dipole moments (1030&#956;/Cm) and molar Kerr constants (1027mK/m5 V-2 mol-1) at 25ºC are reported for both molecules as solutes in carbon tetrachloride: vinyl formate (5.07, + 48.1) and vinyl acetate (5.70, + 3.8). The preferred solution-state conformations indicated by the analysis of these results are shown to be consistent with the theoretical predictions.
