Abstract
The PPP method has been used for calculation of theoretical spectra of the compounds III-X and IIIa-Xa, and the results obtained have been confronted with available experimental absorbance curves. It has been shown that the theoretical spectra can be used for successful interpretation of tautomeric equilibrium between 2-pyridone XI and 2-hydroxypyridine X as well as for prediction of spectral characteristics of the not yet synthetized series IIIa-Xa.
