Abstract

An investigation of 2-aminobenzimidazole was carried out by calculations at HF, MP2, and DFT levels of theory and also by UV and IR spectroscopy. The quantum chemical calculations predict a full shift of the equilibrium towards the amino form, but the absorption spectra in different solvents distinctly show a two-component equilibrium system. Examination of possible equilibria in solution shows that an equilibrium between two dimeric forms of the amino tautomer of 2-aminobenzimidazole explains the spectral observations.Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
