Peramine, a heterocyclic natural molecule, reveals two main, different in nature, electronic absorption bands. Theoretical calculations at the TD‐B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) level of theory show that the electronic excitations are connected predominantly with π → π * and charge‐transfer (CT) transitions. Excitation of electrons from the pyrrolopyrazinone ring to the side chain plays a role in creating the CT transition. The character and energy of the first 30 singlet–singlet electronic transitions have also been investigated for the most stable conformation of peramine. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
