One pot synthesis, molecular structure and spectroscopic studies (X-ray, IR, NMR, UV–Vis) of novel 2-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino acid ester derivatives

• The FT-IR of novel 2-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino acid ester derivatives were recorded.
• The GC–MS and X-ray crystallographic analysis were reported.
• The vibrational frequencies were calculated by DFT method.
• NMR and MEP analysis were also carried out.
• UV–Vis spectra were recorded and compared with calculated ones.

Novel series of 2-(4,6-dimethoxy,1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) amino acid ester derivatives were synthesized using simple one pot method in methanol. The products were obtained in high yields and purities as observed from their spectral data, elemental analyses, GC–MS and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculated molecular structures are well correlated with the geometrical parameters obtained from the X-ray analyses. The spectroscopic properties such as IR vibrational modes, NMR chemical shifts and UV–Vis electronic transitions were discussed both experimentally and theoretically. The IR vibrational frequencies showed good correlations with the experimental data (R2 = 0.9961–0.9995). The electronic spectra were assigned based on the TD-DFT results. Intense electronic transition band is calculated at 198.1 nm (f = 0.1389), 204.2 nm (f = 0.2053), 205.0 (f = 0.1704) and 205.7 (0.2971) for compounds 6a–i, respectively. The molecular orbital energy levels contributed in the longest wavelength transition band were explained. For all compounds, the experimental wavelengths showed red shifts compared to the calculations due to the solvent effect. The NMR chemical shifts were calculated using GIAO method. The NBO analyses were performed to predict the stabilization energies due to the electron delocalization processes occur in the studied systems.
