Abstract:
Compounds formed by exchanging one of the resveratrol hydroxy groups to methoxy or formyl groups are biologically important. Quantum chemical DFT calculations were applied for the simulation of some of their properties. Their optimized structures and charge distributions were computed. Based on the calculated vibrational force constants and optimized molecular structure infrared and Raman spectra were calculated. The characteristics of the vibrational modes were determined by normal coordinate analysis. Applying the calculated thermodynamic functions also for resveratrol, methanol, formaldehyde and water, thermodynamic equilibria were calculated for the equilibria between resveratrol and its methyl and formyl substituted derivatives, respectively.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
