Lv. Ektova et al., EFFECT OF SUBSTITUENTS ON THE TAUTOMERIC EQUILIBRIUM OF 5-HYDROXY-1,4-NAPHTHOQUINON-4-IMINES, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(2), 1997, pp. 344-349
Tautomeric equilibria of para- and ana-quinoid forms of 5-hydroxy-1,4-
naphthoquinone-4-imines in solutions were studied by UV and H-1 NMR sp
ectroscopy. The one-form is stabilized by electron-donating substituen
ts at positions 2 and 8 and at nitrogen atom and by electron-withdrawi
ng, substituents at position 6.
