Abstract

According to B3LYP/6-31G** calculations, the stable antiperi-, antiperiperiplanar and antiperi-, synperiperiplanar conformers of O-vinylacetoxime (1) form with trifluoroacetic acid strong H complexes of two types: with N···H-O and O···H-O hydrogen bonds. The former are more stable. Complexation changes N-O and C-O bond lengths in molecule 1, as well as mutual orientation of its vinyl and azomethine groups. The structural effect depends on the orientation of the H bond, which, in its turn, is determined by the nature of the electron-donor center. When the nitrogen atom of oxime 1 is involved in complex formation, the H bond lies in the molecular plane, whereas the H bond involving the oxygen atom is directed in parallel with its lone electron pair.
