The structure of the products was supported by IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, and HMBC spectroscopy as well as by quantum-chemical calculations. 2-Phenacyl-1H-benzimidazoles in DMSO-d 6 solution were found to display predominantly imino-enamino tautomerism, while their salts were found to display predominantly keto-enol tautomerism.
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.
