✦ Synopsis
Three stable tautomeric forms, dienol (DE), ketoenol (KE), and diketo (DK), of 22'bipyridyl-3,3'-diol BP(OH), were found in this study, using the semiempirical AM^ and MNDC-PM3 and ab initio (4-31~ basis set) methods. All calculations were carried out without any symmetry restrictions. There is a good agreement between the ab initio calculated and experimentally obtained structural parameters for the DE tautomer.
Transition structures, corresponding to the DK -KE and KE -DE processes have also been found. On the basis of the results from the present work, an asynchronous (two-step) DK -KE = ) DE mechanism of the IPT reaction in BP(OH), is proposed.
