A detailed analysis of the 13 C NMR spectra of the 1‐ N ‐ and 3‐ N ‐methyl derivatives of 1 H ‐2‐(2,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5‐ c ]pyridine, utilizing long‐range couplings and 2D 1 H 13 C correlation experiments, has led to an unambiguous assignment of all carbons. Comparison of these definitive assignments of C‐3a and C‐7a, in particular, with those of the tautomers of 1 H ‐2‐(2,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5‐ c ]pyridine has permitted confirmation of the predominance of the 1 H ‐tautomer for the latter. In addition, previous conflicting assignments for 1 H ‐imidazo[4,5‐ c ]pyridine and its 3‐ N ‐methyl derivative are now resolved. Revision of these assignments leads to the conclusion that the 1 H ‐tautomer of 1 H ‐imidazo[4,5‐ c ]pyridine is predominant.
