DFT Exploration on Molecular Characteristics of 6-Methyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate

Present investigation deals with the synthesis and density functional theory study (DFT) of a Biginelli adduct; 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (MOPTHPC). The synthesis of a MOPTHPC has been carried out by the reaction of benzaldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate and urea in ethanol 70-80 ℃ under stirring condition in presence of catalytic amount of sulfamic acid. The structure of a synthesized chalcone is affirmed on the basis of 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The geometry of a MOPTHPC is optimized by using the density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometrical parameters like bond length and bond angles have been computed. Quantum chemical parameters have been determined and examined. Molecular electrostatic surface potential (MESP) surface plot analysis has been carried out at the same level of theory. Mulliken atomic charge study is also discussed in the present study.
