Abstract

The 1H, 13C and 19F NMR spectra of photochromic p-substituted 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines IIa-IIg, 1-methyl-2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-1,4-dihydropyridines IIIa-IIIg, 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-4H-pyrans IVa-IVh, and 2,4,4,6-tetraphenyl-4H-thiopyran V were inspected; it was found that compounds IIa-IIg occur in a dynamic equilibrium with their dihydro tautomer VIa-VIg. Also deuteriodeprotonation of IIa and IIIa and their reaction with trifluoroacetic acid were investigated by NMR spectroscopy.
