Chemical synthesis, spectroscopic studies, chemical reactivity properties and bioactivity scores of an azepin-based molecule

Abstract

Azepines derived molecules are of great interest because of their multi-drug like properties and thus advantageous in biomedical field. Herein, a novel route is described for the synthesis of an azepine-based molecule, 10,11-Dibromo-10,11-dihydro- 5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine-5-carbonyl chloride (DACC) by using dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. The structure of DACC was elucidated by using FT-IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. Several density functionals were considered for the study of the molecular properties of the synthesized compound. The global and local reactivity descriptors were estimated by using Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT). The active sites suitable for the nucleophilic and electrophilic attacks were selected by linking them with the Fukui indices, Parr functions and condensed Dual Descriptor Δf(r). Finally, the bioactivity scores for the studied molecule were predicted through different methodologies.
