Crystallographic and Computational Studies of Semisynthesized 4-Allyl-2-Methoxyphenyl-4-Nitrobenzenesulfonate
摘要
This work is devoted to the semisynthesis of 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenyl-4-nitrobenzenesulfonate 3 from naturally occurring eugenol. The structure of the titled compound is established using IR, (1H and 13C) NMR, and mass spectrometry. Single crystal X-ray diffraction is used to corroborate the structure of the compound 3. Crystallographic study shows that compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P21/n as the space group. DFT studies are carried out to calculate HOMO and LUMO energies. ADMET properties, Molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies are also performed towards the SARS-CoV-2 protein.
