Abstract
In this paper the isolation of 2-Hydroxy-3,4,6-trimethoxyacetophenone
(C11O5H14) from the stem bark of Croton anisodontus Mull. Arg.
(Euphorbiaceae) is presented and its structure is characterized using
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The
crystalline structure of this natural compound, which presents potential
antimicrobial activity, was determined at 100 K and 298 K. Additionally,
the vibrational properties were characterized through infrared and Raman
spectroscopy at room temperature in the spectral regions 400 cm(-1) to
4000 cm(-1) and 25 cm(-1) to 4000 cm(-1), respectively. Vibrational
wavenumber and wavevector have been predicted using the Density
Functional Theory calculations with the hybrid functional B3LYP and the
basis set 6-31 G(d,p). Furthermore, the description of the normal modes
was furnished in terms of the Potential Energy Distribution. Hirshfeld
surface analysis is presented in order to investigate the interactions
between the molecules in the crystals. Density Functional Theory
calculations were carried out in order to obtain the molecular orbitals
and other quantum chemical parameters. Experimental and theoretical UV
absorption spectra of 2-Hydroxy-3,4,6-trimethoxyacetophenone are also
evaluated from time-dependent density functional theory with the purpose
to analyze the energies of the most important molecular orbitals and the
transitions modes for this compound. Finally, the electrostatic surface
potential map was also constructed to display the charge density
distribution and the sites of chemical reactivity. (C) 2018 Elsevier
