Literature data collected from DMSO-d6 solutions. Literature data: 4.6 ppm - 4.8 ppm for K and 6.0 ppm - 6.25 ppm for E [4–6, 8]. Since this signal is overlapped by the solvent absorptions, DEPT technique was used to determine its position in the spectrum. Due to their comparable intensities, the signals cannot be referred to the definite tautomers ([K] ≈ [O], see Table 2). The more intense signal was assigned to the O tautomer ([K] < 50 %, see Table 2). Due to low amount of the K tautomer, these signals were not observed. Literature data [4]. |
