The 3-(arylhydrazono)methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoxalines 1a-e and 2a-i showed tautomeric equilibria between the hydrazone imine A and diazenyl enamine B forms in dimethyl sulfoxide media.The substituent effects on the tautomer ratios of A to B in compounds 1a-e and 2a-i were studied by the nmr spectroscopy.The electron-donating or electron-withdrawing p-substituents R1 in compounds 2a-i represented a tendency to increase the ratios of the tautomer A or the tautomer B, respectively, exhibiting the linear correlation of the Hammett constants ?p (-0,17 to +0.78)with the tautomer ratios of A to B or the tautomeric equilibrium constants KT.However, the presence of the ester group R2 in compounds 1a-e induced the exclusive existence of the tautomer A regardless of the nature of the p-substituents R1.In the tautomeric thermodynamic study, the elevating temperature increased the ratios of the hydrazone imine tautomer A in compounds 2a-i.The tautomeric thermodynamic parameters ΔGO, ΔHO and ΔSO were derieved from the van't Hoff plots for compounds 2a,b,h,i, wherein the entropy term dominated the free energy difference between the A and B tautomers.
