Abstract

Molecular structure of dipivaloylmethane was investigated by X-ray electron diffraction at 24°C. The C2v and Cs geometrical models involving an intramolecular hydrogen bond are considered. The C2v model with enol hydrogen lying symmetrically relative to the oxygen atoms has several advantages over the classical model of the enol tautomer.
