Abstract
Photoelectron spectroscopy and semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations were used to study the electronic structure and keto-enol tautomerism of 4-methyldihydrofuro[2,3-h]coumarin-9-one and its 8-substituted derivatives. Analysis of the electronic structure of 8,8-dibromo-4-methyldihydrofuro[2,3-h]-coumarin-9-one (fixed keto form) and 9-acetoxy-4-methylangelicin (fixed enol form) allowed to reveal ionization ranges for the corres ponding tautomeric forms. All dihydrofuro[2,3-h]coumarin-9-ones studied were found to exist in the gas phase exclusively in the keto form.
