Popis: In the crystalline N,N′-dimethylated uracil derivatives 2a, b, the kinetically stabilized enol group forms an H-bond with OC(4), as demonstrated by increased shielding of specifically labelled 2a and 2b in the 17O-NMR spectra (Δδ(17O)(C(4)—O) −30 ppm); absence of dilution and solvent effects show that the H-bridge is intra-molecular, forming an eight-membered chelate ring. The (apparent) shielding effect Δδ(17O) in 2a, b is larger than that in salicylamide. The strong H-bond explains why the enols 2, in spite of the absence of steric hindrance, are kinetically stabilized.
