In the crystalline N,N′ ‐dimethylated uracil derivatives 2a , b , the kinetically stabilized enol group forms an H‐bond with OC(4), as demonstrated by increased shielding of specifically labelled 2a and 2b in the 17 O‐NMR spectra (Δδ( 17 O)(C(4)—O) −30 ppm); absence of dilution and solvent effects show that the H‐bridge is intra‐molecular, forming an eight‐membered chelate ring. The (apparent) shielding effect Δδ( 17 O) in 2a, b is larger than that in salicylamide. The strong H‐bond explains why the enols 2 , in spite of the absence of steric hindrance, are kinetically stabilized.
