Article Abstract
In this work is investigated why the entrance of a nitrogen atom in the ring of cis-2-hydroxypyridine and 2-pyridinone, resulting in cis-4-hydroxypyrimidine and 4(3H)-pyrimidinone, respectively, shifts the tautomeric equilibrium from the hydroxyl form, in the pyridine derivative, to the ketonic form, in the pyrimidine derivative. The conclusions obtained for these model systems allow us to understand how to control the gaseous-phase keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium in nitrogen heterocyclic rings and justify the tautomeric preference in pyrimidine nucleobases. The experimental and computational energetics of tautomeric equilibrium were interpreted in terms of the aromaticity, intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and electronic delocalization, evaluated using nucleus independent chemical shifts, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital analysis, and the thermodynamic changes of appropriate reactions.

The catalytic -selective functionalization of indazoles is pivotal in medicinal chemistry; however, achieving regiodivergent -alkylation remains challenging due to the aromatic stabilization and tautomeric equilibrium of indazoles. Herein, we report a metal-free, Brønsted acid-catalyzed alkylation of 1-indazoles using sulfoxonium ylides, which affords excellent -selectivity and good yields. Modulation of the catalyst enables switchable /-alkylation.

Living organisms inspire intensive exploration of artificial dissipative systems under far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics. Light, as an ideal fuel form, offers remote control, spatiotemporal precision, and no chemical waste. However, the energy dissipating mechanism behind current light-driven system hinges on photoisomerization.

The dynamic nature of tautomerism has profound implications for structure, function, and reactivity of biologically important molecules. This study investigates the effect of ring size and aromaticity on tautomeric stability of Imidazolin-2-chalcogenones and Pyrimidin-2-chalcogenones using quantum mechanical methods. Analysis of the tautomerisation energies reveals that five-membered unsaturated analogues favor lactams, whereas six-membered ones prefer lactims, a reversal in tautomeric preference not observed in saturated lactams or acyclic amides.

The proton transfer reactions of the nitronate anion derived from 1-hydroxy-2,2-dinitroethane 1 with HCl and carboxylic acid buffers in aqueous solution at 25 °C are investigated through a comprehensive kinetic and thermodynamic analysis. The reaction mechanism is elucidated, allowing the determination of acidity constants for both O-protonation ( = 1.67) and C-protonation ( = 3.

In this work, new photoinduced reversible molecular switches in planar supramolecular systems based on crown-substituted samarium and europium bis-phthalocyaninates have been discovered and investigated. The possibility to control the redox-isomeric equilibrium, established in Langmuir monolayers of the studied compounds at the air/water interface, by UV-irradiation and red light has been shown for the first time. In this work the fact of redox isomerization is experimentally detected using UV-Vis absorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
