In our present work, methyl L-prolinate hydrochloride has been synthesized from L-proline amino acid and characterized by Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra via experimental and computational methods. Ab initio Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations have been made for the structure, and atomic charge distributions were also predicted for the title compound by using the 6-311þþG(d,p) basis set. Predicted vibrational frequencies have been assigned and compared with experimental Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra. The thermodynamic properties such as heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy have been calculated at different temperatures. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy show the charge transfer behavior within the molecule.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
