Benzoid–Quinoid tautomerism of schiff bases and their structural analogs: LVII. 2-[(3-oxo-5-phenylpyrazolidin-1-yl)methylidene]-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione

Аннотация

Potentially tautomeric azomethine imide, 2-[(3-oxo-5-phenylpyrazolidin-1-yl)methylidene]-1H-indene- 1,3(2H)-dione, has been synthesized by condensation of 5-phenylpyrazolidin-3-one with 2-(hydroxymethylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione. According to the IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and electronic absorption spectroscopy data and DFT B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) quantum chemical calculations, the title compound in solution exists as planar tricarbonyl tautomer stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bond between the NH proton of the pyrazolidine fragment and carbonyl oxygen atom of the indene fragment. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis.
