Abstract
p-Amino benzylidene-p-hydroxy aniline (I) was synthesized from paminobenzaldehyde and p-aminophenol by a standard method . Its
structure was confirmed by chemical and physical methods . The former
method included , by using specific reagents for phenol and primary
amino groups . The latter method performed by the measurements of
melting point and UV-IR spectra of I .
Originally , the project was designed to study stability constants of
azo dye complexes formed by reactions of I with diazotized sulphanilic
reagent and other similar reagents . The unsuccessful study for complex
formation stated last , encourage the workers in this investigation to shift
the direction of project toward a clear answered for the reason of
impossible determination of stability constant value for the dye stated .
Hence the tautomerism study which happened in I in basic medium with
their experimental factors , such as pH , temperature and thermodynamic
parameters were outlined in this investigation .
Introduction
Tautomerism was an important area of chemical study1 , that had
long been challenge computationally , experimentally and intellectually .
Tautomerism interconversions2 had been investigated by chemists during
last decades . Tautomerism study had received renewed attention due to
its importance3 in determination of compound properties and their area of
applications . Such topic was regarded as a major topic in theortical
chemistry . For example tautomerisms of keto-enol4-5 , imine-enamine6-7
and many other systems7 .
1
The concept of tautomerism of carbonyl8 , analide9 , Schiff bases10
and benzoin11 had been extensively studied .
As a continuation of tautomerism reactions11-13 , performed in our
laboratory . This work describes the influence of alkali as sodium
hydroxide on UV spectrum of p-amino benzylidene-p-hydroxy aniline ,
which led to tautomerism reaction . The work describs the influence of
buffer solutions and temperature in the range 3-10 and (283-333)K
respectively , on tautmerism reaction in Schiff base under study .
Experimental
Pure p-amino benzaldehyde and p-hydroxy aniline were supplied
from Fluka chemical company . They were converted to Schiff base I by
using a standard method14 , or by mixing equimolar amounts of p-amino
benzaldehyde and p-hydroxy aniline in 20ml absolute ethanol . The
product collected was recrystallized from ethanol , yield a product having
a melting point of (168-170)ºC .
Optimal conditions for tautomerism of imine I
The proper solvent used in tautomerism study of I , was a mixure of
20% acetone – 80%ethanol . Originally , a 5×10-5M of solution I in a
solvent stated was prepared , followed by measurement of its UV
spectrum against a blank sample . Then after , to this solution, either
different 0.5M and 1M of Na2CO3 or 1M NaOH were added , followed
by measurements of their UV spectra in a similar way .
Preparation of buffer solutions
The following buffer solutions were used in tautomerism study as in
Table (1).

Effect of buffers on tautomerism of I
In order to confirm the tautomerism of I , a similar 1ml of 10-4M of
imine I in the mixed solvent stated was prepared and diluted to 10ml with
any buffer solutions . The UV spectrum for each study was measured
versus blank solvent .
Effect of temperature on tautomerism of I
A similar study was adopted here to the last by measurements of UV
spectra at a temperature range between (10-50)ºC . The last resulted to
different values of equilibrium constants , followed by linear plots shown
later using Microsoft Excel 2007 .
Instrumentations
1. The m.p of imine I was measured by using 30 SMP apparatus
manufactured by Bibby scientific limited 2003 .
2. The UV spectra was measured by using Shimadzo UV-1650
spectrophotometer using a quartz cells of dimensions 1×1×3 cm3 .
This connected to a water bath model EyEL4 type NTT-2200p ,
manufactured by Rikakikai Co. Ltd. Tokyo.
3. The IR spectra was measured for solid sample by using FT-IR
spectrophotometer Tenser-27 Bruker company by KBr disk method .
4. The pH of any solution was measured by WTW 82362-Weilheim
pH720 apparatus .
Results and Discussion
The chemical structure of imine I was confirmed by using similar
physical method , namely by using melting point and UV-IR spectra .
Results collected here were compared with other salicylidene ortho meta
and p-hydroxy anilines whose had similar structures and were well
agreed16 with our study .
A preliminary study was started by the measured of UV spectrum of
I in mixed 20% acetone-80% ethanol solvent as in Fig. 1 which showed
the following absorption bands as Table 2 .

Fig. 1 : Original UV spectrum of 5×10-5M of imine 1 in 20% acetone-80% ethanol
These bands have molar extension coefficient values of more than
1000 units and confirmed three π  π* transitions resulted from three
different chromophoric linkages, namely two aromatic rings and one
azomethine linkage . This was in disagreement with EL-Bayoumi17
finding on benzylidene aniline who has similar structure to imine I .
These variation of results could be interpreted due to the presence of
NH2 and OH substituents on para positions of aromatic rings of imine
I , which could cause such expected different results .
A previous study13 showed that addition of NaOH solution to
2-hydroxy-1-napthylaldehyde resulted to zwitter ion formation that
led to keto tautomer by resonance process .
On the same basis the workers added solutions of 0.5M and 1.0M
base Na2CO3 and 1.0M NaOH to 0.5×10-5M of I in 20% - acetone 80% ethanol mixed solvent as in Fig. 2 which showed the following

Table 2 showed three UV bands of original spectrum , had
completely and suddenly changed to four UV bands after addition
of Na2CO3 and NaOH bases . In literature18-19 it was confirmed
that cis and trans keto tautomers appeared at longer wavelength as
compared with enol tautomer . Hence , it was suitable to
mentioned in this respect , that UV band appeared after addition of
bases as a result of tautomerism reactions in imine . These
appeared tautomers in imine I in a direction of increasing
wavelengths were in order of trans keto , cis keto , enol and imine
respectively . These tautomerism reactions happened in I in the
presence of bases were in agreement20-21 and with mechanism of
base catalysed21 reactions , as shown in Scheme I .
Influence of buffers in the range of pH 4-10 on tautomerism of I
In order to certain the mentioned tautomerism reactions happened in
I , this led to the preparation 10-4M solutions of imine in a buffers having
pH range 4-10 in the same mixed solvent . Results collected were
tabulated in Table 3 .

Table 3 showed the following results :1. The original UV spectrum of imine I having two bands in
equilibrium with each other . These related to the presence of I in
enol and keto forms with extinction values of 4380 and 3650
Liter.mole-1.cm-1 respectively . The greater Σmax value for enol as
compared with keto means an increase abundance of enol tautomer
over keto tautomer in solution .
2. At pH values 4, 5 imine I showed another third band at wavelength
412.6nm or 412.2nm with molar extension value of 2020 . This
attributed to the formation of nitriliun or oxonium ion as as result
of combination10 of H+ with nitrogen azomethine or with oxygen
of phenol group in imine . The rest of UV bands were related to the
occurance of I in enol and keto forms , with an increase in
concentration of enol as compared keto at these two pH values .
3. At pH7 , imine I showed two UV bands for enol and keto forms
with Σmax values of 5360 and 3510 respectively . This was in
agreement with upper previous paragraph .
4. Imine I had shown two UV bands at pH 8 or 10 related to keto and
enol tautomers respectively .
This last statement was confirmed with bathochromic shift of keto
band into a range of wavelength (325.2-327.4)nm and the
appearance of new extinction coefficient values of 7020 and 6250
Liter.mole-1.cm-1 for keto and enol tautomers respectively . In
summary statements , at pH 8 or 10 the tautomerism of I enol to its
cis and trans keto tautomers .

Careful examination of plots showed an inverse relation-ship between
reactant absorbance A1 for enol tautomer with temperature , where as
products absorbances A2 , A3 and A4 showed a direct relationships .
These results were expected and agreed with practical experiments .
The thermodynamic parameters ΔGº , ΔHº and ΔSº for tautomerism
reactions of I as shown in Sheme 1 , were estimated by using Hartman22
etal for tautomerism reaction as an example A1

Hence the equilibrium constant K can be calculated by equation (1)
K = C2/C1 = A2/A1 . α1/ α2 … (1)

reaction .

In a previous study22 , it was assumed that α1 and α2 values do not
changed by the variation of temperature . When the three equilibrium
reactions shown in Scheme (1) applied to equation (4) , the results were a
three plots outlined in Fig. 4 of R2 range values 0.9442-0.968 with values
of α1/ α2 , α1/α3 equal 0.5541 , 1.7039 and 0.3998 respectively .
