Experimental and theoretical investigation of the molecular and electronic structure of 3-ethoxy-4-isopropylaminocyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione

The title compound, 3-ethoxy-4-isopropylaminocyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (EIAC) has been synthesized and characterized by NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The (1)H NMR spectra were recorded at 300 K and 315 K in CDCl(3) to determine syn/anti conformers of the compound EIAC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, optimized geometrical parameters, vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values of syn/anti conformer in CDCl(3) have been performed at B3LYP/6-311G(d) level, and compared with the experimental data. The values provided with the calculations support the experimental data of the compound EIAC. The presence of NH⋯O type intermolecular H bond can be perceived from the difference between experimental calculations and results of FT-IR and NMR calculations. In addition, B3LYP/6-311G(d) basis set has been used to calculate the molecular electrostatic potential, frontier molecular orbitals and electronic absorption spectra. HOMO-LUMO electronic transition of 5.12 eV is derived from the contribution of the bands n→σ(*) or π→π(*). FT-IR, NMR and X-ray spectral results and additionally DFT calculations exhibit that the compound EIAC exists in keto-enamine tautomeric form. The experimental (1)H NMR spectra recorded at 300 K and 315 K and theoretical (1)H NMR data indicate that the compound EIAC is in syn conformer.

The new Schiff base 4-[(4-Hydroxy-3-fluoro-5-methoxy-benzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one: Experimental, DFT calculational studies and in vitro antimicrobial activity

The synthesized Schiff base, 4-[(4-Hydroxy-3-fluoro-5-methoxy-benzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one (I), has been characterized by (13)C NMR, (1)H NMR, 2D NMR ((1)H-(1)H COSY and (13)C APT), FT-IR, UV-vis and X-ray single-crystal techniques. Molecular geometry of the compound I in the ground state, vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values have been calculated by using the density functional method (DFT) with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The obtained results indicate that optimized geometry can well reflect the crystal structural parameters. The differences between experimental and calculated results of FT-IR and NMR have supported the existence of intermolecular (O-H⋯O type) and intramolecular (C-H⋯O type) hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbital analysis (HOMO-LUMO) and electronic absorption spectra were carried out at B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p). HOMO-LUMO electronic transition of 3.92eV is due to contribution of the bands the n→π∗. The antimicrobial activity of the compound I was determined against the selected 11 bacteria and 8 fungi by microdilution broth assay with Alamar Blue. In vitro studies showed that the compound I has no antifungal effect for selected fungal isolates. However, the compound I shows remarkable antibacterial effect for the bacteria; Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Enterococcus faecalis.

Experimental (13C NMR, 1H NMR, FT-IR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction) and DFT studies on 3,4-bis(isoproylamino)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione.

In this work, 3,4-bis(isoproylamino)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione C(10)H(16)N(2)O(2) (I), was synthesized and characterized by (13)C NMR, (1)H NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. DFT method with 6-31G(d,p) basis set has been used to calculate the optimized geometrical parameters, atomic charges, vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values. The calculated vibrational frequencies and chemical shift values are compared with experimental FT-IR and NMR spectra. The results of the calculation shows good agreement between experimental and calculated values of the compound I. The existence of N-H⋯O type intermolecular ve C-H⋯O type intramolecular hydrogen bonds can be deduced from differences between experimental and calculated results of FT-IR and NMR. In addition, the molecular electrostatic potential map and frontier molecular orbitals and electronic absorption spectra were performed at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. HOMO-LUMO electronic transition of 4.90 eV are derived from the contribution of the bands π→π* and n→π* The spectral results obtained from FT-IR, NMR and X-ray of I revealed that the compound I is in predominantly enamine tautomeric form, which was supported by DFT calculations.
