Correction factors derived in another study have been applied to the basic pKa values of fixed model tautomers in order to elucidate the tautomeric balance for indazolinone 1 in aqueous solution. The oxo-form B dominates to the extent of ca. 95%; this is consistent with past studies in other solvents. Of the two possible hydroxy tautomers, the benzenoid form A accounts for almost all of the remainder, the proportion of the quinonoid form C being estimated as ca. 10-4.7. It has also proved possible to estimate all six of the microscopic acid pKas values; as with the basic pKas, the resultant of these agrees very closely with the measured, macroscopic pKa, of 1 itself. 1-Substitution engenders a switch to tautomer A; AM1 calculations suggest that the reason may be enforced planarity, leading to a severe (R)N-NH lone pair clash in B which destabilises this form. Comparison with N-unsubstituted pyrazolones shows that benzene ring annelation has the expected effect of stabilising B and destabilising C. However, it is noted that A is more stable than C even when no quinonoid form is possible, and that this reflects a greater basicity for heterocycles in general when substituted with π-donors γ- rather than α- to aza-nitrogen. It is suggested that this effect applies equally in other contexts, as when C=O not C=N is the π-acceptor; that its origin lies in a-bond-no-bond resonance which acts specifically to limit conjugation when π-donor and π-acceptor are contiguous; and that this phenomenon throws much light on the 'principle of vinylogy'.
