The synthesis of new phenanthr[9,10-e][1,3]oxazines was achieved by the direct coupling of 9-phenanthrol with cyclic imines in the modified aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction followed by the ring closure of the resulting bifunctional aminophenanthrols with formaldehyde. Aminophenanthrol-type Mannich bases were synthesised and transformed to phenanthr[9,10-e][1,3]oxazines via [4 + 2] cycloaddition. Detailed NMR structural analyses of the new polyheterocycles as well as conformational studies including Density Functional Theory (DFT) modelling were performed. The relative stability of ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) was calculated, the geometries obtained were compared with the experimentally determined NMR structures, and thereby, the regioselectivity of the reactions has been assigned.

The transformation of 2and#39;-hydroxychalcones to their corresponding flavanones was studied theoretically by the use of the density functional theory (DFT) with B3-LYP/ 6-311G basis set to get important information about the role of both of electronic and structural properties in this process. The obtained energies were found to be in agreement with our previous results that obtained from HPLC studies. The estimated hardness, polarizability, and electrophilicity profiles were found to obey the maximum hardness principle (MHP), minimum polarizability principle (MPP), and the minimum electrophilicity principle (MEP) respectively. Flavanone ring closure was found to be the rate-determining step.

Model calculations are performed to predict the nature of interaction between SWNT and a tripeptide (Lys-Trp-Lys) and to calculate the binding energies and charge transfer between these two species using density functional theory. DFT calculations indicate that the interaction is of a non covalent nature. Minimal charge transfer is observed between SWNT and Lys-Trp-Lys.

AbstractConformational analysis of derivatives of bis(2-phenylethyl)selenophosphinic acid was carried out by the method of dipole moments and density functional theory calculations. The conformations of the examined compounds fit into the overall conformational picture for the PIV compounds: these derivatives exist as conformational equilibrium of non-eclipsed gauche and trans forms with propeller arrangement of the substituents relative to the P=Se bond. We stipulate that the eclipsed cis orientation of substituent may be caused by the formation of H-contact.

The conformations of the chiral bisoxazoline: 2,2′-methylenebis[3a,8a-dihydro-8H-indeno[1,2-d]oxazole] (also named IndaBOX), have been studied. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identify four inequivalent stable conformations. Two, I and II have, C2 symmetry; two, III and IV, have C1 symmetry. The electronic energies of I–IV are ordered: I<II<III<IV. The span in energy is <1.0 kcal/mole. Vibrational unpolarised absorption and circular dichroism spectra have been predicted for the four conformations using DFT. Comparison of population-weighted spectra to experimental spectra of CHCl3 and CDCl3 solutions in mid-IR region strongly supports the DFT predictions of the number, structures, and relative energies of the conformations of IndaBOX. This shows that DFT predicts spectra with a high degree of reliability. We will undoubtedly illustrate the advantage added by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy in conformational analysis and in the absolute configuration determination.
