Experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of sideridiol isolated from sideritis species

Abstract

Sideridiol (ent-7 alpha,18 beta-dihydroxykaur-15-ene) one of the ent-kaurene diterpenoid, is isolated from the genus Sideritis L. belongs to the family of Lamiaceae. The vibrational frequencies of sideridiol in the ground state have been calculated using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method with the 6-31G(d) and 6 31+G(d,p) basis sets. The calculated vibrational frequencies have been compared with that of obtained experimental IR spectrum.
