OSTI ID:6035514

The tautomeric transformations and stereodynamics of a series of ring-substituted acyclic ..beta..-diketo esters p-XC/sub 6/H/sub 4/COCH(CH/sub 3/CO)CO/sub 2/CH/sub 3/ in hexachlorobutadiene and nitrobenzene were investigated by proton and carbon magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The enolization of the compounds is accompanied by the formation of two cis-enol forms (of the three theoretically possible forms) with nonchelated benzene of methoxycarbonyl groups respectively. The form with the nonchelated methoxycarbonyl group predominates in the equilibrium on account of the smaller loss of entropy during its formation compared with the enol containing the nonchelated benzoyl group. The kinetic characteristics of the mutual transformations of the enolic forms in hexachlorobutadiene and nitrobenzene respectively were determined by integration and dynamic nuclear magnetic resonance.
