39. This ratio of tautomers is derived from the condensation of N-methyl-butylamine with bromoacetyl bromide yielding N-butyl-N-methyl-2-bromoacetamide. Heating the ionic liquids (7g–11g) at 60 °C for 72 h did not affect the ratio of amide rotomers, suggesting that this ratio is the thermodynamic equilibrium.
