The electric dipole moments and the U.V. absorption spectra of some adenine derivatives were measured, In agreement with theoretical predictions, the moments of the N ( 7 ) H tautomer derivatives were found to be by several debyes higher than those of the derivatives of the N ( 9 ) H and N ( 3 ) H tautomers. The N ( 3 ) H tautomer of adenine is possibly a mixture of the amine and the imine forms, while the N (7) H and N (9) H tautomers exist wholly in the amine form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
