The ¦Ä(17O) values correlate well with those of 4-alkylaminobut-3-en-2-ones and with the pKa values of amines. The effects of the N-alkyl groups on the 17O shift values is diminished, owing to the resonance effects of the alkoxy groups. The shift difference (D¦ÄHB) between the two carbonyl groups is mainly attributed to the intramolecular hydrogen bonding and depends on the donor property of the amino group. %K NMR %K 17O NMR %K enamino-diesters %K intramolecular hydrogen bonding %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/2/2/31
