The authors report here for the first time rate and equilibrium constants of tautomerism, including kinetic HH/HD isotope effects, in a chemically perturbated porphyrin, 8-acetyl-3,13,17-tris(2-(methoxycarbonyl)-ethyl)-2,7,12,18-tetramethyl-(21H,23H)-(21-/sup 15/N,23-/sup 15/N,24-/sup 15/N)porphyrin (I), dissolved in CD/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/. The synthesis of the triply /sup 15/N labeled compound by variation of literature procedures allowed us to establish the tautomerism, which was postulated previously on the basis of MCD measurements.
