Electron-topological, energetic and π-electron delocalization analysis of ketoenamine-enolimine tautomeric equilibrium

چکیده
The ketoenamine-enolimine tautometic equilibrium has been studied by the analysis of aromaticity and electron-topological parameters. The influence of substituents on the energy of the transition state and of the tautomeric forms has been investigated for different positions of chelate chain. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules method (QTAIM) has been applied to study changes in the electron-topological parameters of the molecule with respect to the tautomeric equilibrium in intramolecular hydrogen bond. Dependencies of the HOMA aromaticity index and electron density at the critical points defining aromaticity and electronic state of the chelate chain on the transition state (TS), OH and HN tautomeric forms have been obtained.

Tautomeric equilibria for ionized oxamic acid - inhibitor of LDH
Amide-iminol tautomerism was studied for ionized oxamic acid (OA+•) in the gas phase using theDFT method with the UB3LYP functional and various basis sets {6-31++G(d,p), 6-311+G(d,p), and augcc-pVDZ}. Among twenty tautomers-rotamers possible for OA+•, eleven isomers were found to bethermodynamically stable. Similarly as for the neutral molecule, ionization (OA → OA+• + e) favors theamidization ...
متن کاملVariations of the tautomeric preferences and π-electron delocalization for the neutral and redox forms of purine when proceeding from the gas phase (DFT) to water (PCM)
Quantum-chemical calculations were performed for all possible nine neutral tautomers of purine and their oxidized and reduced forms in water {PCM//DFT(B3LYP)/6-311+G(d,p)} and compared to those in the gas phase {DFT(B3LYP)/6-311+G(d,p)}. PCM hydration influences geometries, π-electron delocalization, and relative energies of purine tautomers in different ways. Generally, the harmonic oscillator...
