摘要: The microwave spectra of the two conformers each, 1H and 3H tautomers 4-vinylimidazole, have been measured in 48–72 GHz spectral region. 4-vinylimidazole was generated situ by facile decarboxylation urocanic acid at its vaporization temperature 220 °C. recognition this reaction casts doubt on reliability a previous published spectroscopic study apparently mistakenly thought to be uncontaminated vaporized acid, natural product great interest skin cancer etiology. Quantum chemical theoretical predictions structures each ten possible conformers/tautomers four were performed ab initio MP2/cc-pVTZ level, with vibrational B3LYP/cc-pVTZ M062X/cc-pVTZ levels. predicted values rotational constants for all species found quite inconsistent those observed spectra. For isomers, calculated relati...
