Abstract The AM1 quantum-chemical semi-empirical method was used to calculate the values of the enthalpy of activation (ΔΔH#), the heats of reaction (ΔΔH), and the tautomeric equilibrium constants (KT) for several α-substituted pyridines. It was found that the keto-enol tautomeric conversion in α-pyridone occurs more readily than the amino-imino conversion in 2-aminopyridine but in 2-methylpyridine the tautomeric equilibrium does not exist at all.
