Abstract
The tautomerism of the uracil‐4‐hydroxyuracil system is examined with the 3–21G basis set and full geometry optimization using gradient techniques. Single‐point calculations at the 6‐31G level were also done and the results compared with the 2‐pyridone–2‐hydroxypyridine system. The best Δ__E__(taut) obtained in this work is 74.1 kJ/mol.
