Type JournalPaper

Abstract N-(1-(2-phenethyl)-4-piperidinyl-N-phenyl-propanamide (fentanyl) is synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The geometry optimization is performed using the B3LYP and M06 density functionals with 6-311+G(d) and 6-311++G(d,p) basis sets. The complete assignments are performed on the basis of the potential energy distribution (PED) of the all vibrational modes. Almost a nice correlation is found between the calculated 13C chemical shifts and experimental data. The frontier molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential of fentanyl are also obtained.
