Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and quantum chemical computational studies of (S)-N-benzyl-1-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-pent-4-yn-2-amine

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of a novel compound (S)-N-benzyl-1-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-pent-4-yn-2-amine (abbreviated as BPPPYA) was presented in this study. The spectroscopic properties of the compound were investigated by FT-IR, NMR and UV spectroscopy experimentally and theoretically. The molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies of the BPPPYA in the ground state were calculated by using density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method invoking 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The geometry of the BPPPYA was fully optimized, vibrational spectra were calculated and fundamental vibrations were assigned on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method and PQS program. The results of the energy and oscillator strength calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and CIS approach complement with the experimental findings. Total and partial density of state (TDOS and PDOS) and also overlap population density of state (COOP or OPDOS) diagrams analysis were presented. The theoretical NMR chemical shifts (1H and 13C) complement with experimentally measured ones. The dipole moment, linear polarizability and first hyperpolarizability values were also computed. The linear polarizabilities and first hyper polarizabilities of the studied molecule indicate that the compound is a good candidate of nonlinear optical materials. The calculated vibrational wavenumbers, absorption wavelengths and chemical shifts showed the best agreement with the experimental results.
