Abstract
In the present study, the natural product sonderianin diterpene
(C21H26O4), a diterpenoid isolated from Croton blanchetianus, with
potential application in the drug industry, was characterized by nuclear
magnetic resonance, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Vibrational spectra
were supported by Density Functional Theory calculations. Infrared and
Raman spectra of sonderianin were recorded at ambient temperature in the
regions from 400 cm(-1) to 3600 cm(-1) and from 40 cm(-1) to 3500
cm(-1), respectively. DFT calculations with the hybrid functional B3LYP
and the basis set 6-31 G(d,p) were performed with the purpose of
obtaining information on the structural and vibrational properties of
this organic compound. A comparison with experimental spectra allowed us
to assign all of the normal modes of the crystal. The assignment of the
normal modes was carried out by means of potential energy distribution.
