To study systems able to sustain intramolecular proton-transfer, we have prepared a series of six aminofulvene aldimines including several labeled with 15N and 2H. These compounds show coupling constants through the hydrogen bond, 1hJ(15N-1H) and 2hJ(15N-15N). The position of the tautomeric equilibria, i.e., on what nitrogen atom is the proton, was determined in the solid state and in solution. The crystal structure of N{([5-[(phenylamino)methylene]- 1,3-cyclopentadien-1-yl]methylene})pyrrole-1-amine (3) has been determined by X-ray analysis. In solution, both N-H and C-H tautomers were observed and their structures assigned by NMR spectroscopy. Particularly useful is the value of the 1J(15N-1H) coupling constant.
