Abstract

The effect of solvents on the tautomeric equilibria of the ylidene forms of 4-pyrimidinylcyanoacetic acid esters with o- and p-quinoid orientations of the double bonds in the heteroring was determined. The relative stability of the p-quinoid tautomer increased markedly on passing to polar solvents due to nonspecific solvation and the formation of hydrogen bonds.
