Abstract:The keto-enol-enethiol tautomerism in 3-oxo-3-R 1 -N-R 2 -propanethioamides under vacuum and in acetone was studied in terms of density functional theory. It was established that the equilibrium depends on the structure of the 3-oxo-3-R 1 -N-R 2 -propanethioamides and on the nature of the solvent, but the most stable form is as a rule the keto form stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.Key words: 3-oxo-3-R 1 -N-R 2 -propanethioamides, keto-enol-enethiol tautomerism, quantum-chemical calculations, densi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
