Abstract

The PCILO and MNDO quantum chemical methods were applied to the conformational analysis of antiarrhythmic mexiletine 1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)-2-aminopropane, its cation and hydrochloride. The stable conformations, proton affinity, and the hydrogen bonding energy of the mexiletine ion pair were determined.
