The tautomerism of Omeprazole in solution: a 1 H and 13 C NMR study

The tautomerism of 5(6)‐methoxy‐2‐{[(4‐methoxy‐3,5‐dimethyl‐2‐pyridinyl)methyl] sulfinyl}‐1 H ‐benzimidazole (omeprazole) was determined in solution, K T = 0.59 in THF at 195 K, in favor of the 6‐methoxy tautomer. The assignment of the signals was made by comparison with its two N ‐methyl derivative...

Zusammenfassung:The tautomerism of 5(6)‐methoxy‐2‐{[(4‐methoxy‐3,5‐dimethyl‐2‐pyridinyl)methyl] sulfinyl}‐1 H ‐benzimidazole (omeprazole) was determined in solution, K T = 0.59 in THF at 195 K, in favor of the 6‐methoxy tautomer. The assignment of the signals was made by comparison with its two N ‐methyl derivatives in acetone‐ d 6 and through theoretical calculations of the absolute shieldings (GIAO/DFT/6‐311++G**).
