4-Phenyl-3H-1,3-thiazol-2-ol can exist in two tautomeric forms - keto and enol. Comprehensive investigation of molecular geometry and electronic structure in ground as well as in the first excited state of 4-Phenyl-3H-1,3-thiazol-2-ol (enol) has been carried out. To determine lowest-energy molecular conformation of the title molecule, the selected torsion angles were varied in steps of 10° and molecular energy profile was calculated from -180° to +180°. Experimental FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of title compound were compared with the spectral data obtained by DFT/B3LYP method. Dipole moment, polarizability, first static hyperpolarizability and molecular electrostatic potential surface map have been calculated to get a better insight of the properties of title molecule. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has been done to study the stability of the molecule arising from charge delocalization. UV-Vis spectrum of the title compound was also recorded and electronic properties such as frontier orbitals and band gap energies were calculated by TD-DFT approach. To compare the drug efficacy of enolic and keto forms, QSAR properties of both forms have also been computed and discussed.
