Synthesis and Theoretical Calculations of Benzoic Acid-Based New Mono Azo Dye

Abstract

This study describes the synthesis, characterization and theoretical calculation of 3,5-dihydroxy-2-(naphthalen-2-yldiazenyl) benzoic acid. The synthesized compound was obtained through efficient synthetic route using 2-Naphthylamine and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid as starting materials and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques such as Fouirer Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-NMR), Carbon Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (13C-NMR), Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). All theoretical calculation was performed with Density Functional Theory (DFT). Optimized molecular structure, vibrational spectra, NMR chemical shift values, frontier molecular orbitals, bond lengths (Å), bond angles (°) and Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) diagram of molecule were calculated using the 6-311G(d,p) basis set. It has been observed that the results obtained from the experimental and theoretical calculations support each other and were in harmony.
