Spectral investigations of the tautomeric equilibria of thioacyl derivatives of 2-aminothiazole and 2-aminobenzothiazole

The positions of the tautomeric equilibria for a number of thioacyl derivatives of 2-aminothiazole and 2-aminobenzothiazole were determined by UV and IR spectroscopy with the use of model compounds. Quantum-chemical calculations by the CNDO/2 method were made for some of the acyl and thioacyl derivatives of 2-aminothiazole and 2-iminothiazole.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, Vol. 24, No. 3, pp. 410–417, March, 1988.
