Molecular structure, NMR analyses, density functional theory and ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations of 3-phenylpropylamine

Abstract

H-1, C-13, DEPT, COSY, NOESY and HETCOR NMR spectra of 3-phenylpropylamine (3-PPA) have been reported in chloroform-d, dichloromethane-d, methanol-d, dimethylsulfoxide-d and acetone-d. Solvent effects on nuclear magnetic shielding and spin-spin coupling constants have been investigated. Molecular geometry and H-1, C-13 NMR chemical shifts of 3-PPA (C9H13N) have been calculated by means of the Hartree-Fock (HF), Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (BLYP) and Becke-3-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) density functional methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, respectively. The optimized structural parameters (bond lengths, bond and dihedral angles) of 3-PPA have been calculated with HF, BLYP and B3LYP at 6-311++G(d,p) level in the solvents used in this study.
