Abstract
3-hydroxypropanamide (\chem{HOCH_2CH_2CONH_2}), has primarily been used in drug synthesis and is an isomer of the amino acid $\beta$-alanine. Due to its structural similarity to $\beta$-alanine, it is a key target for tracing the formation of important biomolecules in astrochemistry. 3-hydroxypropanamide has a low vapor pressure and readily decomposes when heated to temperatures above $\sim 80^{\circ}$C. Therefore, no rotational spectroscopic investigation has yet been conducted. We report the rotational spectrum of 3-hydroxypropanamide collected from 140-460 GHz using a long-pathlength direct absorption millimeter/submillimeter spectrometer. To aid in its characterization, the gas sample was held at a static pressure of $\sim$ 40 mTorr at $70 ^{\circ}$C; these conditions could be held for several hours so that broadband spectra could be acquired. We will report in this talk on the 3-hydroxypropanamide spectra obtained and the progress of spectral analysis.
