Synthesis, spectroscopic investigation and computational study of 3-(1-(((methoxycarbonyl)oxy)imino)ethyl)-2H-chromen-2-one

The molecular structure and vibrational modes of 3-acetylcoumarin oxime carbonate (abbreviated as 3-ACOC) have been investigated by FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR spectra and also by computational methods using HF and B3LYP with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles) were in good agreement with the corresponding experimental values of 3-ACOC. The calculated vibrational frequencies of normal modes from DFT method matched well with the experimental values. The complete assignments were made on the basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes. NMR (H-1 and C-13) chemical shifts were calculated by GIAO method and the results were compared with the experimental values. The other parameters like dipole moment, polarizability, first order hyperpolarizability, zero-point vibrational energy, E-HOMO, E-LUMO, heat capacity and entropy have also been computed.
