In this study we report about two novel azomethine–BODIPY dyads 1 and 2. The two dyads have been, respectively, synthesized by covalent tethering of tautomeric ortho-hydroxy aromatic azomethine moieties including N-salicylideneaniline (SA) and N-naphthlideneaniline (NA) to a BODIPY fluorophore. Both of the two dyads 1 and 2 show enol-imine (OH) structures dominating in the crystalline state. Dy...

The first systematic steady-state and time-resolved emission study of firefly oxyluciferin (emitter in firefly bioluminescence) and its analogues in aqueous buffers provided the individual emission spectra of all chemical forms of the emitter and the excited-state equilibrium constants in strongly polar environment with strong hydrogen bonding potential. The results confirmed the earlier hypoth...

The dialkyl 2,6-dialkylsubstituted 4-piperidone-3,5-dicarboxylates were synthesized by a Mannich procedure. Depending on the substitution at the nitrogen keto-enol-tautomerism and a configurational isomerism at C 2 is observed. The structure o f the N-substituted piperidone 24 E (C 18H29N 0 5) has been determined by X-ray analysis: it is characterized by an enol structure o f the /?-ketoester a...

O estudo do tautomerismo ceto-enólico e da estereoquímica de uma benzofenona natural com propriedades inibitórias sobre HIV, denominada (1R,5R,7R,8S)-(+)-3-(10-(3,4diidroxifenil)-10-hidroximetileno)-8-metil-1,5,7-tris(3-metil-2-butenil)-8-(4-metil-3-pentenil)biciclo[3.3.1]nonano-2,4,9-triona (a), a qual foi isolada das sementes de Garcinia brasiliensis, é apresentado. A estrutura cristalina de ...

In photoinduced molecular reaction dynamics, the effects of electronic charge redistribution can lead to multiple pathways that are determined by the nature of the initial structures involved and the environment the molecule of interest is studied in. The β-diketones are a common example of this complexity. They show keto-enol tautomerism that is almost totally shifted toward the enolic form. H...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2)O, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules with similar geometries, which exist in the keto form. The C=O bond lengths are 1.2878 (12) Å in mol-ecule A and 1.2890 (12) Å in mol-ecule B, indicating that the compound undergoes enol-to-keto tautomerism during the crystallization process. In mol-ecule A, the pyrazole ring is ...
