N-oxides and related compounds. Part XXXI. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and tautomerism of some substituted benzofuroxans

Abstract
The tautomerism of eight benzofuroxans has been studied by proton magnetic resonance at low temperatures. The equilibrium constants implied small (0–500 cal./mole) energy differences, and indicated that electron-acceptor groups favoured the 6-position and electron-donor groups the 5-position. The activation energies for the equilibrations were in the region of 14 kcal./mole.
