The ketoenamine-enolimine tautometic equilibrium has been studied by the analysis of aromaticity and electron-topological parameters. The influence of substituents on the energy of the transition state and of the tautomeric forms has been investigated for different positions of chelate chain. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules method (QTAIM) has been applied to study changes in the electron-topological parameters of the molecule with respect to the tautomeric equilibrium in intramolecular hydrogen bond. Dependencies of the HOMA aromaticity index and electron density at the critical points defining aromaticity and electronic state of the chelate chain on the transition state (TS), OH and HN tautomeric forms have been obtained.

In this paper, we present a novel class of hybrid polyketides, tenuazamines A-H (-), which exhibit a unique tautomeric equilibrium from FL7. The elucidation of the structures was achieved through a diverse combination of NMR, HR-ESIMS, and ECD methods, with a focus on extensive spectroscopic data analysis. Notably, compounds , , - exhibited potent toxic effects on the growth of .

In this work, the chemical equilibrium between enol and keto tautomers occurring in phenol, naphthols and selected 29 hydroxy substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons classified into 4 structural types was investigated. The reaction Gibbs energies were computed using the density functional theory combined with the solvent continuum model. We have demonstrated how the consecutive condensation of benzene rings together with two-dimensional molecular arrangement and the position of the hydroxyl group modifies this equilibrium.

The synthesis of 1-azido -nucleosides is described to expand the set of azide-functionalized nucleosides for bioorthogonal applications and as potential antiviral drugs. Lewis acid-promoted azidation of a nucleoside hemiketal resulted in the formation of a tetrazole through a Schmidt reaction manifold. Conformational control to prevent ring-chain tautomerism enabled efficient 1-azidation with complete β-diastereoselectivity.

In this work, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reversible and irreversible processes of cyanidin 3,5--diglucoside and cyanidin 3--(2--glucosyl, 6--sinapoyl)glucoside-2--glucoside, 5--glucoside were studied by covering all pH range (holistic approach). The acylation (i) decreases the mole fraction of the colorless hemiketal in acidic medium and increases that of the colored quinoidal base, (ii) expands the pH domain of the flavylium cation, and (iii) moderately decreases the rate of tautomerization and isomerization of the neutral and monoanionic species. Degradation of cyanidin-3,5--diglucoside in a basic medium occurs in two distinct stages.

The reaction of the 11-vertex rhodathiaborane [8,8,8-(H)(PPh)-3-(NCH)--7,8-RhSBH] () with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)benzene (dppbz) and ()-(-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (binap) affords [1,1-(η-dppbz)-3-(NCH)--1,2-RhSBH] () and [1,1-(η-binap)-3-(NCH)--1,2-RhSBH] (). These 11-vertex -rhodathiaborane chelates result from PPh ligand substitution at the rhodium center and a -to- structural cluster transformation driven by H loss. Treating compounds and with triflic acid (TfOH) leads to the formation of cationic clusters and .
