Synthesis of Biologically Active alpha-Tetralone Condensate: Growth of Single Crystal, Characterization by Experimental and Simulation Methods

초록

The exocyclic double bonded a-tetralone condensate viz. (2E)-2-(4-propoxybenzylidene)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalene-1-one was synthesized by the Claisen-Schmidt reaction between a-Tetralone and 4-propoxybenzaldehyde in an alkaline medium. A slow evaporation technique was used to collect the single crystals. Researchers examined the detailed information provided by spectral studies. The inter- and intra-molecular interactions of the compound were identified using the single-crystal XRD investigation. Charge transfer inside organic molecules was used to calculate HOMO and LUMO energy values. In addition, MEP, NBO, NLO, topological charge distribution, and Mulliken population studies were performed for this compound. The Hirschfeld surface study showed that nonpolar or weakly polar interactions significantly contributed to the packing forces for molecules. Then, it was tested for its antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The 6yb7 protein and the (2E)-2-(4-propoxybenzylidene)-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (PBDN) ligand were docked in molecular docking research.
