Quantum-chemical investigation of the protonated forms of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole

The electron and conformational structures, as well as the internal rotation, of 2-(2-furyl)pyrrole and its -protonated forms were studied by the MNDO method with complete optimization of the geometry. In conformity with the experiments (PMR), the two delocalized cations with a cis orientation of the heteroatoms that are formed as a result of protonation of the pyrrole or furan ring have the greatest and virtually equal stabilities (H=738.7 and 740.6 kJ/mole).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 746–753, June, 1991.
