Popis: Azo-hydrazone, acid-base equilibria were examined for the water-soluble dye FD&C Yellow No. 6 (Y6), with the observation of dynamic NMR effects near, and at, pH 12, where the dye converts from a predominantly hydrazone tautomer (acidic to moderately basic pH) to a prevailing azo-anion resonance hybrid (high pH). Semilogarithmatic pH-13C chemical shift plots and a 2-bond, 15Nβ-13C8a coupling constants vs. pH relationship both indicate that the midpoint of the azo-hydrazone equilibrium occurs at ca. pH 12. Potentiometric titrations further indicate that thepKa of Y6 is ca. 12. These data suggest that the observed NMR line broadening is due to slow proton transfer between the hydrazone-NH and water.
