Conclusions
-
1.
The spatial parameters and charge distribution in 2-substituted 1-vinyl- and 1-vinylbenzimidazoles were calculated by the MCSCF method. Good correlation was obtained between the calculated and experimental values of the dipole moments.
-
2.
The character of the electronic effect of the substituents was established. The methyl group causes a positive inductive effect. In the presence of hydroxymethyl and O-vinyl groups, a positive mesomeric effect is added to the inductive effect. Charge redistribution is observed due to a change in the conjugation of the π system of the imidazole ring and vinyl group.
-
3.
In 2-substituted 1-vinylimidazoles, perturbation of the coplanarity of the vinyl group and heterocycle causes a decrease in the difference of the charge on the C atoms of the vinyl group which corresponds to a decrease in the difference of the chemical shifts of these atoms in the13C NMR spectra.
