Abstract
The aromaticity of s-cis and s-trans pyrrol-2-yl carbonyl conformers was studied by FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity (HOMA) and Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) indices were calculated to estimate π-electron delocalization in the pyrrole ring. The usefulness of infrared spectroscopy in the evaluation of the aromaticity of the homogeneous set of pyrroles is discussed. The influence of 2-substitution on different aspects of aromaticity and stability of the pyrrol-2-yl carbonyl conformers is also discussed. It is concluded that the substitution effect of the title pyrrole derivatives can be explained on the basis of theoretical and experimental measurements of π-electron delocalization, including IR data.
