Abstract: | 1-Phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-2-in-5-thione, crystallised from methanol, was shown to exist in the tautomeric NH-form, stabilised by intermolecular NH S hydrogen bonds. In solutions, however, the molecule is found predominantly as the SH-tautomer, accompanied (in low-polar solvents) by a small amount of the CH-tautomer.1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazol-2-in-5-thione occurs in the crystal as well as in solution in the SH-tautomeric form, stabilised by an intramolecular SH O bridge. In dimethylsulfoxide solution indications were found for an additional SH-tautomer in a conformation lacking the intramolecular H-bridge. The structure of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-2-in-5-one was redetermined by X-ray single crystal diffraction at 120°K in order to obtain more accurate geometry and hydrogen bonding parameters. |
