Theoretical Study of Tautomerization in 1,5-Dimethyl-6-Thioxo-1,3,5-Triazinane-2,4-Dione

Resumo

In this work, the tautomeric transformations of a 1,5-dimethyl-6-thioxo-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4-dione molecule are explored at the M062X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory in gas and solution phases. These calculations show that the 1,5-dimethyl-6-thioxo-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4-dione isomer is more stable than its tautomer (4-hydroxy-1,5-dimethyl-6-thioxo-5,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-one) in gas and solution phases. The frontier molecular orbitals and band gap energy calculations are performed at the M062X/6-311G(d,p) level in gas and various solvents. Solvent effects are analyzed using the self-consistent reaction field method based on the polarizable continuum model in chloroform, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofurane, dichloromethane, and quinoline. The solvent effect on the N–H and C=O vibrations is explored. Also, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was used to understand the structure and bonding of the molecule.
