Abstract

The 4-hydroxy-2-butenolide was established by polarographic method to undergo in water solutions fast tautomeric and acid-base transformations. Depending on pH of the medium the compound is present either as a cyclic irreducible form (at pH 0-4) or in the open-chain (carbonyl-containing) reducible forms (at pH > 4 and < 0). It is presumed that in going from the basic to strongly acidic medium and backwards occur consecutive equilibrium transitions of four species: cis-β-formylacrylic acid anion (A-), its neutral molecule (HA) existing as linear and cyclic tautomers, and protonated forms (H2A+ and H3A+). The formation mechanism thereof is considered.
