The compound ethyl 2-(5-methyl-2-oxopyridin-N-yl)acetate (OPA) has been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The compound exhibits C-H center dot center dot center dot O type of intermolecular interaction and is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and pi - pi interaction. The energy frameworks show that dispersion energy is predominant. The energy gap between the molecular orbitals HOMO and LUMO in different phases is calculated. The charge distribution and noncovalent interactions in the molecule are analyzed.
The compound ethyl 2-(5-methyl-2-oxopyridin-N-yl)acetate (OPA) has been synthesized and characterized by H-1, C-13 NMR and mass spectra. The molecular structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The compound crystallizes in triclinic crystal system with asymmetric unit Z = 2. The structure exhibits C-H center dot center dot center dot O type of intermolecular interaction. The compound is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi and pi - pi interaction. The intermolecular interactions present in the molecule are validated by Hirshfeld surface analysis and the percentage contribution from individual atoms are calculated by 2D fingerprint plots. The interaction energies are visualized through energy frameworks which show dispersion energy is predominant. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were done in gaseous, aqueous, and solvent (acetone) phase. The energy gap between the molecular orbitals HOMO and LUMO in different phases is 4.573, 4.677, 4.673 eV respectively. The charge distribution in the molecule is visualized using molecular electrostatic potential map. The noncovalent interactions present in the molecule are revealed by reduced density gradient analysis. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
