ABSTRACT
The experimental geometry (XRD), vibrational (IR and Raman), electronic (UV-visible) and NMR spectra of (S)-4-(4-Amino-benzyl)-oxazolidin-2-one (ABO) have been corroborated with the corresponding first principle calculated values at DFT using hybrid B3LYP exchange correlation functional invoking 6-311++g(d, p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters were found to be in satisfactory agreement with the experimental values obtained from the X-ray diffraction structural features of ABO. The scaled down computed vibrational frequencies with appropriate scaling factors were in good correspondence with the experimental observations. Room-temperature 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies were supported by advanced density functional theory calculations. The theoretical spectrograms of FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV of the title compound have been constructed and compared with experimental spectra and Hirshfeld surface analysis has also been made to study the intermolecular interactions. The electronic structure of the title compound has also been studied in terms of HOMO, LUMO and MESP diagrams.
