Curcumin is soluble in oil and alkali, practically insoluble in water, acidic and neutral pH. In solutions the principal colouring components of curcumin exhibit keto- enol tautomerism and depending on the solvent, up to 95 percent are in the enol

Synthesis and characterization of novel silyl derivatives of curcumin
Abstract:Turmeric is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which is extensively used as a spice, food preservative and colouring material. Curcumin is a main bioactive natural compound derived from the rhizome of this plant. Curcumin can exist in several tautomeric forms, keto and enol. The keto form is more stable than enol form. Silyl ethers have proven to be versatile substrates for...

متن کاملDescription of the specific solvent effect in the tautomeric systems, QM/MM modeling
Curcumin, derived from Curcuma longa plant has been shown to exhibit antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities and thus has a potential against various malignant diseases, diabetes, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic illnesses [1–3]. In the light of these promising propertiesseveral questions need to be answered in o...
متن کاملChange of the tautomeric preference for radical cation of pyruvic acid. DFT studies in the gas phase
Keto-enol tautomerism was investigated for ionized pyruvic acid using the DFT(B3LYP) method and the larger basis sets [6-31++G(d,p), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd) and aug-cc-pVDZ]. Change of the tautomeric preference was observed when going from the neutral to ionized tautomeric mixture. Ionization favors the enolization process (ketoenol) of pyruvic acid, whereas the ketonization (ketoenol) is preferred ...
