“…The solvent effect on tautomerization reactions in many theoretical studies [26][27][28][29][30][31] has been investigated using self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) [32][33][34] approaches. In SCRF approaches, solvents are modeled by a continuum of a uniform dielectric constant (ε), namely, the reaction field, and the solute is located into a cavity within the solvent and they differ in how they define the cavity and the reaction field.…”

A theoretical study at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) level on tautomeric conversion of pyrimidin‐2(1H)‐one (PYH) to pyrimidin‐2‐ol (PY) was performed. Two mechanisms have been considered for this processes: (i) one in which the hydrogen is directly transferred, mechanisms A, through TS12 and (ii) another one in which a double hydrogen transfer takes place via TS1122, by formation of the corresponding dimer, mechanisms B. The results associated with the gas phase reveal that overcame to TS12 needs high activation free energies of 34.47 kcal/mol, as a consequence of the strain associated with the formation of the four‐membered transition state, while overcame to TS1122 requires much lower activation free energies, 4.97 kcal/mol. The effect of solvent on the studied tautomerization in implicit, explicit, and a combination of both implicit and explicit solvation models in various media (protic and aprotic polar solvents) has been considered. The results show that the use of a protic polar solvent reduces the energy barrier of the corresponding transition states in a very significant amount.
