Structural characterization and keto-enol tautomerization of 4-substituted pyrazolone derivatives with DFT approach.

The synthesis of two pyrazolone derivative compounds, PYR-I(4-Acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one) and PYR-II1-(4-Chlorophenyl))-3-isopropyl-5-oxo-4,5-5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, their characterization by FT-IR, NMR, UV-Vis and GC-MS techniques, and the evaluation of the keto-enol tautomerization process of the structures along with the DFT approach and spectral data were reported in this paper. Spectral findings indicated that PYR-I was stable at the keto state. The IR spectrum recorded in solid form showed that the PYR-II structure was stable in the enol state, while the NMR spectrum in the solution medium showed that it was stable in the keto state. DFT-based analyses were realized with the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The modelled keto, transition and enol state molecular geometries of structures were optimized in the gas phase and different solvent media and the total energy and dipole moment values were investigated at the specified theoretical level. The possible keto-enol tautomerism mechanism of the structures was evaluated through some thermodynamic parameters such as the difference in free Gibbs energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and predictive tautomeric equilibrium constants (K
