Pyrazolone T and three derivatives have been characterized by 13 C and, in part, 15 N nmr at several p H values. The 13 C chemical shifts have been assigned at, or near, the equivalence points and p K a values of these four compounds. Closely situatued quaternary carbon signals were assigned by means of a heteronuclear chemical shift correlation (FLOCK) experiment which is sensitive to, and was optimized for, 3‐bond C‐H couplings. The 13 C chemical shift data indicate the existence of both tautomeric and acid‐base equilibria and demonstrate that the four congeners exist in surprisingly different forms at certain common p H values.
