Abstract

The pyrazole derivative, 4-aminoantipyrine (4AAP), used as an intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals especially antipyretic and analgesic drugs has been analyzed experimentally and theoretically for its vibrational frequencies. The FTIR and FT Raman spectra of the title compound have been compared with the theoretically computed frequencies invoking the standard 6-311g(d,p) and cc-pVDZ basis sets at DFT level of theory (B3LYP). The harmonic vibrational frequencies at B3LYP/cc-pVDZ after appropriate scaling method seem to coincide satisfactorily with the experimental observations rather than B3LYP/6-311g(d,p) results. The theoretical spectrograms for FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 4AAP have been also constructed and compared with the experimental spectra. Additionally, thermodynamic data have also been calculated and discussed.
