In this study, a novel acrylamide monomer was synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H NMR measurements. The acrylamide monomer namely, N-(2-acetyl-benzofuran-3-yl)acrylamide (NABA), was prepared in two steps. In the first step, 1-(3-aminobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one was synthesized by the reaction of 1-chloroacetone with 2-hydroxy-benzonitrile under basic conditions. In the second step, the obtained 1-(3-aminobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one was reacted with acryloyl chloride and triethylamine at 0–5 °C temperature for obtaining NABA monomer. Then, the structural, vibrational, nuclear magnetic resonance and electronic properties for the synthesized monomer were determined by quantum chemical calculations of DFT method. The results were compared with experimental FT-IR, 1H NMR and UV–Vis spectral data. The band gap of HOMO and LUMO show that the NABA monomer is chemically active and has charge transfer within the monomer. Moreover, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were drawn to identify reactive regions of NABA monomer.
