A DFT study of the role of Lewis acid catalysts in the mechanism of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imines towards electron-deficient acryloyl derivatives
Abstract The role of the Mg complex formation in the reaction rate and regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of nitrile imines (NIs) towards electron-deficient methacryloylpyrazolidinones has been theoretically studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G * level. These 13DC reactions have an asynchronous concerted mechanism with a low polar character, displaying a high C regioselectivity induced by a steric repulsion between the phenyl substituent present at the C3 carbon of the NIs and the pyrazolidinone appendage present in the methacryloyl derivative, which increases with the formation of the bulky Mg–methacryloylpyrazolidinone complex. Solvent effect has be…
A DFT study of the domino reactions between imidazole NHC, ketenimines and DMAD or MP acetylene derivatives yielding spiro-pyrroles
Abstract The domino reactions of imidazole carbene 9, ketenimine 10 and DMAD 5 or MP 7 to yield the formal [3+2] cycloadducts 12 or 14 have been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. These domino reactions are initialized by the nucleophilic attack of imidazole 9 on ketenimine 10 to yield the zwitterionic intermediate 11. The second reaction is a formal [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction between the zwitterionic intermediate 11 and acetylene carboxylates DMAD 5 or MP 7 yielding spiro-pyrroles 12 and 14. These formal 32CA reactions are initialized by the nucleophilic attack of the N3 nitrogen of intermediate 11 on the most electrophilic centres of these acetylene derivat…
Formation of Pyrazol-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles through 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions of 3-Thioxo-[1,2,4]-Triazepin-5-one with Nitrilimines: An Experimental and Computational study
In this work the results of experimental and computational study of the title compounds and some ancillary compounds are reported. Two bicyclic pyrazol-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized by reaction between 6-dimethylaminomethylene-3-thioxo-[1,2,4]- triazepin-5-one 1 and several nitrilimines 2a-f to give corresponding spirocycloadducts 3a-f, which undergo a rapid rearrangement leading to the new bicyclic compounds, 4a-f and 5a-f. These obtained bicyclic products were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and finally by X-ray crystallography. Theoretical calculations have been carried out using DFT methods to rationalize the formation of the two new bicyclic compounds. Two…
Unveiling the Different Chemical Reactivity of Diphenyl Nitrilimine and Phenyl Nitrile Oxide in [3+2] Cycloaddition Reactions with (R)-Carvone through the Molecular Electron Density Theory
The [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of diphenyl nitrilimine and phenyl nitrile oxide with (R)-carvone have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT). Electron localisation function (ELF) analysis of these three-atom-components (TACs) permits its characterisation as carbenoid and zwitterionic TACs, thus having a different reactivity. The analysis of the conceptual Density Functional Theory (DFT) indices accounts for the very low polar character of these 32CA reactions, while analysis of the DFT energies accounts for the opposite chemoselectivity experimentally observed. Topological analysis of the ELF along the single bond formation makes it possible to characteri…
A DFT study of the role of the Mg complex formation on the mechanism of the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of benzonitrile oxides with acryloylpyrazolidinone
Abstract The role of the Mg complex formation on the mechanism, the reaction rate and regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of benzonitrile oxides (BNOs) towards electron-deficient acryloylpyrazolidinones has been theoretically studied using DFT methods at the 6-31G* level. These 13DC reactions have asynchronous concerted mechanism with a non-polar character. These cycloadditions present a slight 5-regioselectivity induced by a steric repulsion between the phenyl substituent of the BNOs and the pyrazolidinone appendage present on the acryloyl derivative, which increases with the formation of the bulky Mg–acryloylpyrazolidinone complex. The present DFT study poin…
Experimental and theoretical push-pull Chemo- and regioselectivity in 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions: the case of benzotriazepin-5-one with mesitylnitrile oxide
A novel heterocyclic compound 3-mesityl-5-methyl-4,5,11,11a-tetrahydro-6H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo [5,4-b][1,3,4]benzotriazepin-6-one 4 has been synthesised by a 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction of 1,3,4-benzotriazepin-5-one 1 with mesitylnitrile oxide 3. The reaction, beside its synthetic interest, has shown to be completely chemo- and regioselective. The structure of the compound was determined by X-ray crystallography and analysed by spectral methods (NMR and mass spectrometry). The molecular mechanism for the reaction has been studied using quantum mechanical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* theory level. Two mechanisms are possible for the formation of the cycloadduct 4. The first on…
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the alkylation of 3,5-dithioxo-[1,2,4]triazepines
The chemo- and regioselective alkylation reactions of 3,5-dithioxo[1,2,4]triazepine 1 in a basic medium with α,ω-dibromoalkanes 2a–c, Br(CH2)nBr (n = 1–3), are studied experimentally and theoretically. These alkylations, which occur at the thioxo sulfur atom in position 5, afford mainly 5-bromomethylthio-2,7-dimethyl- 2,3-dihydro- 4H[1,2,4]triazepin-3-one 3 for n = 1, 6,8-dimethyl-5-thioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-6H[1,3]thiazolo[4,5-d][1,2,4]triazepine 4 for n = 2 and 7,9-dimethyl-6-thioxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro[1,3]thiazino [4,5-d][1,2,4]triazepine 5 for n = 3. Theoretical calculations have been carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP(benzene)/6-311+G*//B3LYP/6-31G* levels, in order to rationa…
High chemoselectivity of CS dipolarophile in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines and 1,2,4-triazepin-5-one derivatives: experimental, theoretical and X-ray study
Substituted 2,7-dimethyl-3-thioxo-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazepin-5-one reacts as a dipolarophile with several N-aryl-C-ethoxycarbonylnitrilimines, in equimolar quantities, to give, in all cases, two types of products: diethyl 3-(p-aryl)-2-[N′-(p-aryl)-N′-(2′,7′-dimethyl-5′-oxo-5′,6′-dihydro-2H-[1,2,4]triazepin-3′-yl)-hydrazino]-2,3-dihydro[1,3,4]thiadiazole-2,5-dicarboxylate (3a–3c in 20–25% yield) and ethyl 4-(p-aryl)-5-imino-1,4-dihydro[1,3,4]thiadiazole carboxylate (4a–4c in 45–50% yield). When 1:2 stoichiometry was used, the formation of product 3 (50%) was favoured. The reaction is entirely chemo- and regioselective. The structures of the compounds obtained, where aryl stands f…
