Popis: Enolisation of acetoacetanilide (AAAH) acetoacet ortho-toluidide (AATH), 2, 4-acetoacetxylidide (AAXH), acetoacet-ortho-chloroanilide (CAAAH), acetoacetortho-anisidide (OAAAH), benzoyl-acetanilide (BAAH) and benzoyl-meta-nitro-acetanilide (NBAAH) have been studied in different solvents of varying polarities, ranging from chloroform (z=63.2) to methanol (Z=83.6) by ultraviolet spectroscopic methods. The low percentages of enol contents in formamide, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, may be due to the formation of charge transfer complexes of these solvents with the diketones. Free energy of tautomerisation has also been calculated. The substituents on the phenyl group attached to the nitrogen have no effect on enolisation.
