“…Also, the signals of NH and H−P=O protons were displaced, presumably as a result of rapid protons exchange in two types of tautomeric equilibriums. The first type is tautomeric amide-imide equilibrium (i, ii, iii), while in the second type, hydrophosphoryl unit in solutions easily undergoes the tautomeric transition, providing it a unique combination of properties of pentavalent (λ 5 , σ 4 form) and trivalent (λ 3 , σ 3 form) phosphorus atom (phosphonate-phosphite i and iv) (Scheme 2) [24][25][26][27]. Also, the 13 C NMR spectrum of compound 3a displayed the carbon atoms of methyl and C=N groups at 14.7 and 157.2 ppm, respectively.…”
