Abstract: | Quantum-chemical calculations were performed for all possible isomers of neutral aniline and its redox forms, and intramolecular
proton-transfer (prototropy) accompanied by π-electron delocalization was analyzed. One-electron oxidation (PhNH2 – e → PhNH2]+•) has no important effect on tautomeric preferences. The enamine tautomer is preferred for oxidized aniline similarly as for
the neutral molecule. Dramatical changes take place when proceeding from neutral to reduced aniline. One-electron reduction
(PhNH2 + e → PhNH2]-•) favors the imine tautomer. Independently on the state of oxidation, π- and n-electrons are more delocalized for the enamine
than imine tautomers. The change of the tautomeric preferences for reduced aniline may partially explain the origin of the
CH tautomers for reduced nucleobases (cytosine, adenine, and guanine). |
