NMR spectroscopic study of the (Z)/(E)-isomerism of 1-aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-ones in solution and in the crystalline state

Summary ¹H,¹³C, and CP/MAS¹³C NMR spectra of sixp-substituted 1-aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-ones in solution and in the solid state are reported and discussed. In the proteon-accepting solvent dimethylsulfoxide, electronegative substituents shift the isomeric equilibrium to the (E)-isomer. Bulky substituents promote crystallization of the (Z)-form.

NMR-Spektroskopische Untersuchung der (Z)/(E)-Isomerie von 1-Aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-onen in Lösung und im Kristallzustand (Kurze Mitt.)

Zusammenfassung ¹H-,¹³C- und CP/MAS-¹³C-NMR Spektren von sechsp-substituierten 1-Aryl-3-arylamino-2-propen-1-onen in gelöstem und festem Zustand werden berichtet und diskutiert. In protonenakzeptierendem Dimethylsulfoxid verschieben elektronegative Substituenten das Gleichgewicht zum (E)-Isomer. Große Substituenten begünstigen die Kristallisation in der (Z)-Form.

     

Influence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds on the tautomeric equilibrium of 1,3-diketones

The paper deals with a quantitative characterization of the influence of multiple intramolecular hydrogen bonds on the tautomeric equilibrium of 1,3-diketones by means of NMR-spectroscopy. The contents of the keto- and two enol forms of 1-(o-hydroxyphenyl) -1,3-butandione and 1-(o-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-butandione in tetrachloromethane, deuterochloroforme, acetone-d₆ and acetonitrile-d₃ are compared.The intramolecular hydrogen bond between the phenolic hydroxyl group and the aromatic carbonyl group in 1-(o-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-butandione shifts are keto-enol equilibrium toward the keto-tautomer and enol-enol equilibrium toward the tautomer with an enolized aliphatic carbonyl group.
