Abstract

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to analyze the structural and electronic features of tautomers of 5,6-difluor-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidindion, as a possible compound for pharmaceutical applications. To this aim, possible structures of tautomers were obtained by performing optimization calculations and their electronic features were investigated. The results indicated that the tautomerism process could change the original features of 5,6-difluor-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidindion, in which different impacts of such changes could be observed for the list of tautomeric structures. Finally, further pharmaceutical uses of 5,6-difluor-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidindion compound should be in accordance with the structural and electronic features of the tautomeric formations.
