    Abstract

    The aim of the current report is to shed light on the tautomerism of 4-((Phenylimino)methyl) naphthalene-l-ol in solution, which was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. It was found that this compound does not have the typical tautomeric behavior of its analog 4-Phenylazo-naphthalen-l-ol. The complicated equilibrium between the enol- and keto-like forms and two kinds of dimers that can exist in solution, is strongly dependent on the proton acceptor/donor abilities of the solvent. Using advanced data treatment quantitative information about the tautomeric and dimeric equilibrium constants was obtained. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
