| Abstract: | The1H and 13C NMR resonances for acridine derivatives 9‐substituted with chloro, allylamino and propargylamino groups were completely assigned using a concerted application of gs‐COSY, gs‐HMQC and gs‐HMBC experiments. 9‐(N‐Allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives present amino–imino tautomerism including a large broadening of 1H and 13C NMR signals at room temperature. To obtain suitable resolution, therefore, these latter compounds were studied at 370 K in DMSO‐d6 solutions and showed a complete shift towards the imino tautomers.
