NMR investigation of hydrogen bonding and 1,3-tautomerism in 2-(2-hydroxy-5-substituted-aryl) benzimidazoles.
The 1,3-tautomerism associated with 2-(2-hydroxy-5-substituted-aryl)benzimidazoles was studied in different solvents. The effect of hydrogen bonding involving the hydroxyl group of the 2-aryl ring on the tautomerism was investigated using NMR spectroscopy. The influence of the solvent concentration on 2-(2-hydroxy-5-chloroaryl)benzimidazole was studied in acetone-d6 and DMSO-d6.
