Zharinova and Alfiya A. Bilyalova and Stanislav I. Bezzubov", abstract = "The title compound, C17H14O4, was synthesized under mild conditions and characterized by various analytical techniques. Combined NMR and X-ray diffraction data show that the substance exists exclusively in the enol tautomeric form. An intramolecular ...O=CC=COH... hydrogen bond is present in the molecular structure. The analysis of the difference density map disclosed two adjacent positions of a disordered hydrogen atom taking part in this hydrogen bond, indicating the presence of two enol tautomers in the crystal. The enol molecules are assembled through numerous CH... and as well as weak C(aryl)H...O interactions, thus forming a dense crystal packing. The obtained substance was also studied by UVVis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.", }
