Abstract

UV absorption spectra of dibenzoylmethane and its 23 derivatives with acetamide, tert-butyl, chloride, fluoride, hydroxyl, methyl, methoxy and nitro substituents in aromatic rings were collected. General influence of substituent on absorption maxima and absorption intensity was defined. Hyperchromic effects were observed for diketones with electron-donating groups in para postion. The keto-enol tautomerism equilibrium constant of obtained compounds was investigated with (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Significant changes of equilibrium were observed only for ortho substituted compounds. Results revealed dissimilarity of substituent effects on absorption and keto-enol tautomerism of aromatic β-diketones.
