Study of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 4-hydroxyvaleramide was undertaken to ascertain its correlation with the intramolecular catalyzed hydrolysis of amides. The presence of a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond in the amide was confirmed by infrared spectral analysis in chloroform solution. These results were supported by the stabilization energy obtained from the molecular orbital calculation of the configuration models of 4-hydroxyvaleramide.
