Understanding the Bond Formation in Hetero Diels-Alder Reactions. An ELF Analysis of the Reaction of Nitroethylene with Dimethylvinylamine

2012

[EN] The bonding evolution in hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions has been studied by an ELF analysis of the electron reorganization along the HDA reaction between nitroethylene 6 and dimethylvinylamine (DMVA) 9 at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. This cycloaddition takes place along a two-stages one-step mechanism. In the first stage of the reaction, the C1-C6 bond is formed by coupling of two pseudoradical centers positioned at the most electrophilic carbon of nitroethylene 6 and the most nucleophilic center of DMVA 9. In the second stage, the formation of the second O4-C7 bond takes place between a pseudoradical center positioned at the C7 carbon of DMVA and some electron-density provided by the l…

ChemInform Abstract: New Studies and a Reinvestigation on (4 + 2) Cycloadditions of (-)- Thebaine: Asymmetrical Diels-Alder Reactions with a Conforma…

2010

Some novel Diels-Alder reactions of the opium alkaloid (−)-thebaine (1) as an electron-rich diene and a reinvestigation of its reactions with cyclic and acyclic dienophiles are described. The π-facial selectivity has been studied on the basis of structural analyses of the cycloadducts. Some related results on [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 1-methoxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene (11) are also reported.

Diels-Alder reactions of 1-phenylpyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones with alkynes: New functionalized carbazoles

1990

3-Indolylalkanoic acids 2 react with benzoic acid anhydride under catalysis of Et2O - ZnCl2 and mild conditions to furnish the 1-phenyl-substituted pyrano[3,4-b]indol-3-ones 1c, 1d, and 3a, 3b. Products 1c, 1d, and 3b may be converted into the novel functionalized carbazoles 4 and 5 by reaction with acceptor-substituted alkynes.

Ab Initio Study of Stereo- and Regioselectivity in the Diels−Alder Reaction between 2-Phenylcyclopentadiene and α-(Methylthio)acrylonitrile

1997

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to investigate the Diels−Alder reaction between 2-phenylcyclopentadiene and α-(methylthio)acrylonitrile. Geometry optimizations were performed with the RHF/3-21G, RHF/3-21G*, and RHF/6-31G* calculations while the correlation energy has been calculated at MP2 and MP3 levels. Four asynchronous transition structures corresponding to the formation of different stereoisomers and regioisomers associated with the four reaction channels have been located. The observed endo/exo stereoselectivity and para/meta regioselectivity are correctly described at all levels of calculation, and the calculated activation energies reflect accurately the rela…

Influence of Reactant Polarity on the Course of the Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels−Alder Reaction. A DFT Study of Regio- and Stereoselectivity, Presen…

1999

The molecular mechanisms for the inverse-electron-demand Diels−Alder reactions between nitroethene and three substituted ethenes (propene, methyl vinyl ether, and dimethylvinylamine) to give the corresponding nitroso cycloadducts have been characterized with density functional theory methods using the B3LYP/6-31G* calculational level. On the basis of stability arguments and molecular orbital analysis relative rates, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity, the presence of Lewis acid catalyst modeled by the BH3 system and the inclusion of solvent effects as a function of the nature of substituent in the dienophile fragment are analyzed and discussed. The ortho attack mode presents transition…

First synthesis of chiral 3-vinylindoles as 4π-components for diels-alder reactions

1995

The first syntheses of chiral 3- and 2-vinylindoles bearing sulfoxide or (-)-menthyloxy functional groups at the β-vinyl positions by way of procedures based on the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons and Wittig reactions, respectively, are described. Some Diels-Alder reactions demonstrating the 4π-reactivity of these compounds are reported.

Highly Enantio- and Diastereoselective Inverse Electron Demand Hetero-Diels-Alder Reaction using 2-Alkenoylpyridine N-Oxides as Oxo-Heterodienes

2008

A general catalytic inverse electron demand hetero-Diels Alder reaction for 2-alkenoylpyridine N-oxides is presented. 2-Alkenoylpyridine N-oxides react very efficiently with alkenes in the presence of bisoxazolidine-copper(II) [BOX-Cu(II)] complexes to give chiral dihydropyrans bearing a pyridine ring at the 6-position with very high yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity. These heterodienes exhibited higher reactivity and enantioselectivity than the corresponding non-oxidized 2-alkenoylpyridines.
