H. Shiozaki et al., CONFORMATIONAL-ANALYSIS OF AMINOVINYLPYRAZINE BY SEMIEMPIRICAL MOLECULAR-ORBITAL CALCULATIONS, Dyes and pigments, 33(1), 1997, pp. 33-39
A conformational analysis of aminovinylpyrazine (2) by semiempirical m
olecular orbital calculations and H-1-NMR analysis has been performed.
The free rotation of the bond between the vinyl group and the pyrroli
dine ring was observed at 130 degrees C. Molecular orbital calculation
s revealed that compound 2 has a planar structure with intramolecular
charge-transfer character and the rotational conformer should be inclu
ded at higher temperature. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
