As part of study on pyrrole derivatives, we have synthesized a pyrrole chalcone derivative: ethyl 4-(3-Furan-2yl-acryloyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (EFADPC) by aldol condensation of ethyl 3, 5-dimethyl-4-actyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate with furan-2-carbaldehyde in the presence of strong hydroxyl base as catalyst. The product EFADPC has been confirmed by spectroscopic (FT-IR, H-1 NMR, and UV-visible) analyses. Quantum chemical calculation also provides good correlation with experimental data. The molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEP), natural bond orbital interactions (NBO), electronic descriptors, quantum theory of atoms' in molecules (QTAIM) and experimental FT-IR spectrum have been used to predict the sites and nature of interactions which indicate that the dimer formation with multiple interactions through N-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot O. The vibrational analysis shows red shifts in VN-H and V-C=O as result of dimer formation. The binding energy of dimer is calculated as 13.82, 15.24 kcal/mol using DFT, QTAIM analysis, respectively. The result of ellipticity confirms the existence of resonance assisted hydrogen bonds (RAHB) in dimer. The MEP and local reactivity descriptors analyses have been performed and the results indicate that carbonyl carbon and beta-carbon of chalcone frame have been prone to nucleophilic attack and lead to large number of heterocyclic compounds such as oxirane, oxazoles, pyrazoles, pyridines, pyrimidines, and pyran.
