Abstract
The tautomerism of 3-acetyltetramic acid was investigated by using the semiempirical MNDO method. Calculations predict that the exo-enol tautomers (B and D) are more stable than the endo-enol forms (A and Cl. The estimated !1Hr's are -473.7, -475.2, -457.5 and -453.4 kjoule mol:", respectively. Lactim tautomers A' and B' are found to be by ca. 22 kjoule mol? less stable than the corresponding lactam tautomers A and B. The origtn of relative stabilities of tautomers is elucidated by the energy partitioning technique.
