Nuclear magnetic resonance, vibrational spectroscopic studies, physico-chemical properties and computational calculations on (nitrophenyl) octahydroquinolindiones by DFT method
In the present study, 2'-nitrophenyloctahydroquinolinedione and its 3'-nitrophenyl isomer were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, FT-Raman, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. The molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies, H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shift values of the synthesized compounds in the ground state have been calculated by using the density functional theory (DFT) method with the 6-311++G (d,p) basis set and compared with the experimental data. The complete vibrational assignments of wave numbers were made on the basis of potential energy distribution using GAR2PED programme. Isotropic chemical shifts for H-1 and C-13 NMR were calculated using gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method. The experimental vibrational frequencies, H-1 and C-13 NMR chemical shift values were found to be in good agreement with the theoretical values. On the basis of vibrational analysis, molecular electrostatic potential and the standard thermodynamic functions have been investigated. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
One-pot four-component synthesis of some novel octahydroquinolindiones using ZnO as an efficient catalyst in water
shown to be an inexpensive, efficient, readily available, and mild catalyst for a one-pot four-component synthesis of somenovel octahydroquinolindione-3-carboxylic acid ethyl esters using diethylmalonate, dimedone, ammonium acetate, and appropriate aromatic aldehydes in water at reflux. ZnO acts as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst to afford the products in excellent yield in short reaction duration
