The tautomerization of glycine via a triple proton transfer was investigated both in the gas phase and in aqueous solution using the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory. Fully optimized complexes of the neutral and zwitterion forms of glycine with 1,3-propanediol were used for the reactant and product forms, respectively. The hydroxyl groups in the diol are conveniently oriented for glycine tautomerization through a concerted triple proton transfer facilitated by a network of three hydrogen bonds: N-H…O-H…O-H…O=C. The activation energy for the zwitterion à neutral process increases in solution. Also, the diol-glycine complex favors the neutral over the zwitterion form in a vacuum, but the opposite is true in solution. For comparative purposes, the tautomerization of glycine via a three-proton transfer mediated by two molecules of water was also examined. The results are qualitatively similar, albeit with activation energies that are smaller to those found in the corresponding diol-mediated tautomerization.

Annotation. The Raman spectra of glycine in crystalline form and in aqueous solution were obtained. The model of stabilization of the zwitterion state of glycine with a single water molecule connected by hydrogen bonds with the –COO- and –NH3+ groups is proposed. It is shown that quantum chemical calculations at the level of B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) using the discrete-continuum model of water environment of glycine complexes Gly + n H2O (n = 1–3) provide a good description of the Raman spectra of glycine.
