Sažetak

Keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium in several β-triketones has been investigated using NMR spectroscopy and theoretical methods. The equilibrium involves two slow and two fast enolization processes in solution. In solvents of low polarity and at room temperature, the predominant tautomeric species is the dienol form. However, the equilibrium is significantly shifted to the more polar triketo form on raising the temperature up to 140 °C and by using solvents of higher polarity. Structures and stabilities of both long-and short-lived tautomeric forms, as well as transition-state structures and barrier heights of enolization processes, were calculated using semiempirical and density functional quantum Chemical methods.
