Abstract:
In this study, for the first time in the literature, a 2-(3-methoxyphenylamino)-2-oxoethyl acrylate (3MPAEA) molecule was synthesized in two steps, and a 2-chloro-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (m-acetamide) was obtained in the first step. Experimental results were obtained using FTIR, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy methods for m-acetamide and 3MPAEA compounds created in the laboratory environment and compared with theoretical results. Band gap (BG) energy, chemical hardness, electronegativity, chemical potential, and electrophilicity index were calculated. With vibration spectroscopic analysis, atom-molecule vibrations of the theoretical and experimental peaks of the spectrum were observed. The locations of C and H atoms were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The green, blue, and red regions of the potential energy map (MEP) map were examined. Some observed that the energy thermal, heat capacity, and entropy graphs increased in direct proportion to increasing the temperature in Kelvin, which is known as thermochemistry. The changes in the rotation, translation, and vibration of the molecule as its temperature increased were examined. When the thermochemistry surface map was examined, some observed that the temperature was high in the middle binding site of the molecules. Covalent interactions were graphed using the non-covalent interactions (NCIs) calculation method. In silico toxicity studies were carried out for m-acetamide and 3MPAEA molecules: fathead minnow LC50 (96 h), Daphnia magna LC50 (48 h), Tetrahymena pyriformis IGC50 (48 h), oral rat LD50, water solubility, bioconcentration factor, developmental toxicity, mutation, normal boiling point, flash point, melting point, density, thermal conductivity, viscosity, vapor pressure, etc. parameters were investigated.
