Synthesis, X-ray structure, spectroscopic properties and DFT studies of a novel Schiff base.

ABSTRACT: A series of Schiff bases, salicylideneaniline derivatives 1-4, was synthesized under mild conditions and characterized by 1H NMR, HRMS, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In solid and aprotic solvents 1-4 exist mainly as E conformers that possess an intramolecular six-membered-ring hydrogen bond. A weak intramolecular C-H···F hydrogen bond is also observed in fluoro-functionalized Schiff base 4, which generates another S(6) ring motif. The C-H···F hydrogen bond further stabilizes its structure and leads it to form a planar configuration. Compounds 1-3 exhibit solely a long-wavelength proton-transfer tautomer emission, while dipole-functionalized Schiff base 4 shows remarkable dual emission originated from the excited-state intramolecular charge transfer (ESICT) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) states. Furthermore, the geometric structures, frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) and the potential energy curves for 1-4 in the ground and the first singlet excited state were fully rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations.

Project description:The reaction of 4-hydroxyquinazoline (4HQZ) with aqueous solution of nitric acid afforded the corresponding quinazolinone-nitrate (4HQZN) complex in very good yield. The crystal structure of 4HQZN was determined and its structural and supramolecular structural aspects were analyzed. 4HQZN crystallized in the space group P21/c and monoclinic crystal system with one [4HQZ-H]+[NO3]- formula and Z = 4. Its supramolecular structure could be described as a 2D infinite layers in which the 4HQZN molecules are connected via N-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bridges. Using DFT calculations, the relative stability of five suggested isomers of 4HQZN were predicted. It was found that the medium effects have strong impact not only on the isomers' stability but also on the structure of the 4HQZN. It was found that the structure of 4HQZN in DMSO and methanol matched well with the reported X-ray structure which shed the light on the importance of the intermolecular interactions on the isomers' stability. The structure of 4HQZN could be described as a proton transfer complex in which the nitrate anion acting as an e-donor whiles the protonated 4HQZ is an e-acceptor. In contrast, the structure of the isolated 4HQZN in gas phase and in cyclohexane could be described as a 4HQZ…HNO3 hydrogen bonded complex. Biological screening of the antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities of 4HQZ and 4HQZN was presented and compared. It was found that, 4HQZN has higher antioxidant activity (IC50 = 36.59 ± 1.23 µg/mL) than 4HQZ. Both of 4HQZ and 4HQZN showed cell growth inhibition against breast (MCF-7) and lung (A-549) carcinoma cell lines with different extents. The 4HQZ has better activity with IC50 of 178.08 ± 6.24 µg/mL and 119.84 ± 4.98 µg/mL, respectively. The corresponding values for 4HQZN are 249.87 ± 9.71 µg/mL and 237.02 ± 8.64 µg/mL, respectively. Also, the antibacterial and antifungal activities of 4HQZN are higher than 4HQZ against all studied microbes. The most promising result is for 4HQZN against A. fumigatus (MIC = 312.5 μg/mL).
