Abstract:
Commercially available and administered to the patients ethosuximide is a racemic mixture of two enantiomers, each of them exist in different conformations. The presence of the species mentioned are proven by the title experimental methods aided by DFT model calculations. Results of the latter are matched against spectroscopic data by the clustering window analysis. One type of hydrogen bonds exist in the solid forms of ethosuximide NH⋯O, leading to the polymorphic variety of the substance studied.
