Spectrophotometric p Ka determinations of methyl derivatives of N α ‐acetyl‐4‐nitrohistidine methyl ester 1 have been used to determine the position of the tautomeric equilibrium of 1 . The N 1 ‐H tautomer is the predominant form with an equilibrium constant K T of 48. The conclusion is supported qualitatively by the study of 1 H‐nmr and 13 C‐nmr chemical shifts of the imidazole ring atoms and their changes from neutral to acidic media.
