Abstract: | 3-(α-Chlorophenylhydrazono-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylmethyl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 4a-d and 3-(α-chlorophenylhydrazono)methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 5a-c have been clarified to exhibit the characteristic tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine form C and the diazenyl enamine form D with a long-range prototropy by means of the pmr and 13C-nmr spectroscopies. |
