Long‐range substituent and temperature effect on prototropic tautomerism in 2‐(acylmethyl)quinolines

Tautomeric equilibria between 2-(cinnamoylmethyl)quinoline, (Z)-1,2-dihydro-2-(cinnamoylmethylene)quinoline and (Z)-4-phenyl-1-(2-quinolyl)-1,3-butadien-2-ol were studied by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR methods. The —CHCH— fragment conjugated with phenyl and a strong electron donor p-(1-pyrrolidine) substituent were found to favour the enolimine tautomer. This undergoes fast exchange (on the NMR time-scale) with the enaminone form. The amount of the latter tautomer was found to increase at low temperatures. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
