Infra-Red Study of Tautomerism in Some Schiff Bases.

Infra-Red spectra of a series of substituted salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-naphthaldehyde Schiff bases were used to investigate enol-keto tautomeric equilibrium. Two model compounds, namely, salicylidinaniline and naphthylidinequinolineamine Schiff bases were used to represent the enol and keto forms, respectively. From the IR spectra of the model compounds it was possible to assign the IR absorption for the C=O and the C=N groups in both the keto and the enol form. It was also possible to assign other absorptions which were either specific to the keto or the enol forms. Specific pattern were observed for all the studied compounds.     

Substitution and Solvent Effect of Some Substituted Hydroxy Schiff Bases

Abstract

The uv-vis spectra of eight ortho-hydroxy- andpara-hydroxy schiff bases were recorded in different solvents. Inductive and resonance effect of the substituents affect the electronic spectra of those molecules, while, intra-molecular hydrogen bond formation or breakage have little effect on the uv-visible spectra.     

Mass Spectral Study of Tauotomerism in Some Schiff Bases

Mass spectra of a series of substituted salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-naphthaldehyde Schiff bases were used to investigate enol-keto tautoraeric equilibrium. Two model compounds, namely, salicylidinaniline and naphthylidinequinolineamine Schiff bases were used to represent the enol and keto forms, respectively. Mass spectral measurements reveal the fragmentation pattern in all compounds studied. Only naphthylidinequinoline amine Schiff base show a different fragmentation pattern compared to the other Schiff bases in the series which give an evidence for its suggested keto structure.     

An integrated approach to the study of the tautomerism of 4‐((Phenylimino)methyl) naphthalene‐1‐ol

The aim of the current report is to shed light on the tautomerism of 4‐((Phenylimino)methyl) naphthalene‐1‐ol in solution, which was studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. It was found that this compound does not have the typical tautomeric behavior of its analog 4‐Phenylazo‐naphthalen‐1‐ol. The complicated equilibrium between the enol‐ and keto‐like forms and two kinds of dimers that can exist in solution, is strongly dependent on the proton acceptor/donor abilities of the solvent. Using advanced data treatment quantitative information about the tautomeric and dimeric equilibrium constants was obtained. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Selective Recognition of Cobalt (II) Ion by a New Cryptand Compound with N2O2S2 Donor Atom Possessing 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthylidene Schiff Base Moiety

A new cryptand compound carrying 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene Schiff base moiety (3) was designed and synthesized by reaction of the corresponding macrobicyclic amine compound (1) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2). The influence of metal cations such as Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Fe²⁺,Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Al³⁺ and Pb²⁺ on the spectroscopic properties of the new fluoroionophore was investigated in acetonitrile-dichloromethane solution (9.5/0.5) by means of absorption and emission spectrometry. The blue shifts on the fluorescence spectrum were observed for all metal cations at 504nm. At the same time the fluorescence spectrum of the ligand showed quenching in the intensity of the signal at 504 nm for all metal cations except for Zn²⁺. Interaction of Co²⁺ with the ligand caused quenching of naphtyl fluorescence higher than 84%. The method showed good selectivity and sensitivity for Co²⁺ with respect to other metal cations with linear range and detection limit of 1.5 × 10⁻⁷ to 3.3 × 10⁻⁶M and 4.8 × 10⁻⁸M respectively.

Synthesis,tautomeric stability,spectroscopy and computational study of a potential molecular switch of (Z)-4-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-one

The (Z)-4-(phenylamino) pent-3-en-2-one (PAPO) was synthesised applying carbon-based solid acid and described by experimental techniques. Calculated results reveal that its keto-amine form is more stable than its enol-imine form. A relaxed potential energy surface scan has been accomplished based on the optimised geometry of NH tautomeric form to depict the potential energy barrier related to intramolecular proton transfer. The spectroscopic results and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding strength of PAPO is stronger than that in 4-amino-3-penten-2-one)APO(. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential, total and partial density of stats (TDOS, PDOS) and non-linear optical properties of the compound were studied using same theoretical calculations. Our calculations show that the title molecule has the potential to be used as molecular switch.

NMR and DFT calculation study on structures of 2‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione (NTBC) and its two metabolites isolated from urine of patients suffering from tyrosinemia type I

2‐[2‐Nitro‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione (NTBC) is an active component of nitisinone, a medicine against tyrosinemia type I. Using ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy it has been found that in the urine of patients treated with nitisinone two compounds possessing CF₃ group are always present. They have been isolated by using TLC technique and identified as 4‐hydroxy‐2‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione and 5‐hydroxy‐2‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]cyclohexane‐1,3‐dione, the latter being previously unknown. The constitution, tautomerism and stereochemistry of these compounds have been thoroughly investigated using ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy supported by theoretical calculations. Molecular structures have been optimized using density functional theory (DFT) with PBE1PBE functional and 6‐31G* basis set. In NMR parameter calculations, the larger 6‐311++G(2d,p) basis set has been used. At both calculation stages, the polarizable continuum model of the solvent has been employed.

Structural Study of N-(1-Benzoyl-3-Pyrrolidinyl) Benzamide

Oxazolidinones show potent activity against vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(VRSA) species, and are currently under active development. We present NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics calculation studies on N-(1-benzoyl-3-pyrrolidinyl) benzamide, an oxazolidinone derivative with substitution at the amine group of 3-pyrrolidinamine. the ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR spectra exhibited two sets of peaks, one major and one minor, giving rise to the existence of isomers at room temperature. In order to deduce the nature of its isomeric distribution, a series of derivatives were synthesized and analyzed using NMR spectroscopy and computer-aided molecular modeling (CAMM) simulations. the results suggest that rotation of the benzoyl group attached to the secondary amine in N-(1-benzoyl-3-pyrrolidinyl) benzamide is responsible for conformational heterogeneity.     

Experimental and molecular modeling investigation of (E)-N-{2-[(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]phenyl}benzenesulfonamide

The Schiff base compound (E)-N-{2-[(2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino]phenyl}benzenesulfonamide has been synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR and Uv-vis spectroscopies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. In addition, quantum chemical calculations employing density functional theory (DFT) method with the 6–311++G(d,p) basis set were performed to study the molecular, spectroscopic and some electronic structure properties of the title compound, and the results were compared with the experimental findings. There exists a good correlation between experimental and theoretical data. Enol-imine/keto-amine tautomerization mechanism was investigated in the gas phase and in solution phase using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) approximation. The energetic and thermodynamic parameters of the enol-imine?→?keto-amine transfer process show that the single proton exchange is thermodynamically unfavored both in the gas phase and in solution phase. However, the reverse reaction seems to be feasible with a low barrier height and is supported by negative values in enthalpy and free energy changes both in the gas phase and in solution phase. The solvent effect is found to be sizable with increasing polarity of the solvents for the reverse reaction. The predicted nonlinear optical properties of the compound are found to be much greater than those of urea.
