Theoretical analysis at the BHandHLYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory with the support of QTAIM calculations was used to reinvestigate the structure of an intermolecular system formed between ethylene oxide (C2H4O) and formic acid (HCO2H) after the epoxidation known as the Prileschajew reaction. Geometric and infrared vibration results revealed that HO2CH forms a strong hydrogen bond with C2H4O followed by a larger red-shift of the H−O bond. NBO analysis was applied to justify this frequency shift. Finally, QTAIM calculations identified the formation of two hydrogen bonds, namely O···H−O and H···O=C.

Nesse trabalho é relatada a síntese de uma série de ácidos N-aril antranílicos inéditos, com bons a excelentes rendimentos, empregando irradiação de microondas como fonte de aquecimento para promover a reação de acoplamento de Ullmann entre ácidos antranílicos e brometos de arila contendo grupos substituintes doadores ou aceptores de elétrons.

In this paper we report the synthesis of a series of novel N-aryl anthranilic acids, with good to excellent yields, employing microwaves as heat source to promote the Ullmann coupling between anthranilic acids and aryl bromides possessing electron donating or withdrawing groups.
