DFT STUDIES OF STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS, VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCIES AND NMR SPECTRA OF 3-(1H-BENZO[D]IMIDAZOL-1-YL)-N'-(TOSYLOXY)PROPANIMIDAMIDE

Abstract

Amidoxime derivatives have practically valuable biological properties. We have previously obtained new spiropyrazolinium compounds by arylsulfo-chlorination of β-aminopropioamidoximes, but in case of β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)pro-pioamidoxime we have obtained O-substitution product – 3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-N'-(tosyloxy)pro-panimidamide. The aim of the work is predicting of structural parameters (bond lengths, bond angles), vibrational frequencies and NMR spectra of 3-(1H-benzo-[d]imidazol-1-yl)-N'-(tosyloxy)propanimidamide. The calculations were performed using Gaussian 09 package. Structural parameters and vibrational frequencies was calculated using DFT (B3LYP/B3PW91/WB97XD)/6-31G(d,p). 1H and 13C NMR was predicted using DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)-GIAO in DMSO. All calculated values are in good agreement with experimental data. The calculated bond lengths and bond angles were compared with results of X-ray structural analysis. The best correlation coefficient was 0.981 (calcu-lations with B3LYP level). For bond angles, the best result was obtained with B3LYP level (0.990). For vibrational frequencies correlation coefficients between the calculated and experimental values were 0.997 (B3LYP), 0.996 (B3PW91) and 0.995 (WB97XD). The most accurate method was used for predic-ting NMR spectrum. The correlation coefficients between the experimental and calculated 1H and 13C chemical shifts were 0.949 and 0.999 respectively.
