Abstract
The isomeric and tautomeric structures of 1-aryl-3-alkyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazans in solutions were investigated by means of NMR, IR, and electronic spectroscopy. It is shown that the nature of the solvent and the alkyl substituent in the 3 position affects the ratio of the Z and E isomers relative to the C=N bond of the azohydrazone chain. An increase in the length of the alkyl substituent in the 3 position leads to preponderance of the Z isomer in solution, while branching stabilizes the Z configuration with an N2...HN5 intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB), regardless of the solvent. The nature of the solvent has a significant effect on the ratio of the amino and imino tautomeric forms of the E isomers. The benzothiazolylhydrazone form predominates in CHCl3, while the tautomer with a benzothiazolidene fragment is the major form in DMSO.
