| Abstract: | The semiempirical method AM1 was used to optimize the geometric parameters: bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles in the local anesthetic benzocaine hydrochloride. The frequencies and intensities of the normal modes were computed. These results were compared with the infrared and Raman spectroscopic data. A theoretical spectrum using several scale coefficients was plotted. Electron density maps in two and three dimensions were drawn. Several calculated thermodynamic parameters are discussed. |
