In a recent paper in this journal it was suggested that 1-N-(1-methoxycarbonyl-2- phenylethyl) imino-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethanephosphonate systems 2, R: Et, n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, synthesized according to Eq.(1), tautomerize completely to their stable carboxylic acid ester tautomers 3 [1]. The evidence for the enol of ester structures was the 1H NMR (CDCl3) OMe signals at δ ¼ 3.3 ascribed to vinyl-OMe, the low field signal at δ ¼ 8.3 ascribed to the OH ...
