Abstract
The ^13^C NMR spectra of several 2‐substituted imidazoles and benzimidazoles have been measured. The substituent was CH~3~, COOH and CONHR, where R = H, n‐Bu, p‐tolyl or m‐chlorophenyl. Carbons 4 and 5 in the imidazoles and the carbon pairs 8/9, 4/7 and 5/6 become equivalent by proton transfer from N‐1 to N‐3, possibly through intermolecular association. The rate of this proton exchange increases with concentration and temperature. It decreases with extension of the 2‐substituent (rate CH~3~≫CONH‐phenyl > CONH‐p‐tolyl ≃ CONH‐m‐chlorophenyl ≫ CONH‐n‐butyl) due to steric hindrance at the site of the (benz)imidazole nitrogen.

The 13C NMR signals for some 4substituted phenacyl bromides were assigned. The experimental chemical shifts of the aromatic ring carbons are in close agreement with those calculated using substituent chemical shifts. Both the car-bony1 and the a-methylene carbons exhibit upfield shifts compared with
