Abstract: Six β-diketone compounds, 1,3-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3 propanedione (1) , 1-(4-nitrophenyl) 3-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-propanedione (2) ,-1,3-bis(3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-propanedione (3) 1,3-bis(4-amimophenyl)-1,3-propanedione (4) , 1-(4-amimophenyl)-3-(3-amimophenyl)-1,3-propanedione (5) and 1,3-bis(3-amimophenyl)-1,3-propanedione (6) were synthesized. Their structures were characterized by IR, UV Vis, fluorescence and NMRspectroscopy. The percentage of keto tautomer, enol keto equilibrium constant and enol tautomer ratio of them were also determined. The percentage of keto tautomer is increased in the order from compound 1 to 3 and decreased in the order from compound 4 to 6, which show the effect of substituent on the tautomer. The results of enol tautomer ratio of compounds 2 and 5 indicated that b-form of enol is slightly more favorable than its a form.
