In aqueous solution manganous ion is shown to broaden the methyl /sup 1/H resonance of the enol form of acetylacetone. Under the same conditions, where (Mn(II)) << (keto-enol) and << (1,3-diketonel), the methyl of the diketo form is affected to a smaller degree. This is primarily due to the more favorable association constant of Mn(II) with the keto-enol than with the diketo form. This diagnostic is used to differentiate between resonances due to diketo and keto-enol forms of the substrate for maleylacetone cis-trans isomerase and is proposed for use in elucidating NMR spectra of other diketo/keto-enol mixtures. 4 figures, 2 tables.
