Unveiling the Unexpected Reactivity of Electrophilic Diazoalkanes in [3+2] Cycloaddition Reactions within Molecular Electron Density Theory
2021
The [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of strongly nucleophilic norbornadiene (NBD), with simplest diazoalkane (DAA) and three DAAs of increased electrophilicity, have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the MPWB1K/6-311G (d,p) computational level. These pmr-type 32CA reactions follow an asynchronous one-step mechanism with activation enthalpies ranging from 17.7 to 27.9 kcal·
Unveiling the Different Reactivity of Bent and Linear Three-Atom-Components Participating in [3 + 2] Cycloaddition Reactions
2021
The reactivity of a series of pairs of bent and linear three-atom-component (B-TACs and L-TACs) participating in [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions towards ethylene and electrophilic dicyanoethylene (DCE) have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory. While the pseudodiradical structure of B-TACs changes to that of pseudoradical or carbenoid L-TACs upon dehydrogenation, zwitterionic B-TACs remain unchanged. Conceptual Density Functional Theory (CDFT) indices characterize five of the nine TACs as strong nucleophiles participating in polar reactions towards electrophilic ethylenes. The activation energies of the 32CA reactions with electrophilic DCE range from 0.5 to 22.0…

[3+2]‐Cycloadditions of N ‐Cyano Sulfoximines with 1,3‐Dipoles
2020
Involving the cyano group of N‐cyano sulfoximines in [3+2]‐cycloaddition reactions with 1,3‐dipoles provides practical routes for the construction of 5‐membered heterocycles bearing sulfoximinoyl moieties. An ytterbium‐catalyzed cycloaddition utilizing hydrazonoyl chlorides was developed, as well as a reaction involving imidoyl chlorides proceeding without the aid of a catalyst. Following these protocols, a range of sulfoximines with N‐1,2,4‐triazolyl and N‐1,2,4‐oxadiazolyl substituents was prepared. peerReviewed
ChemInform Abstract: Benzothietes. Versatile Synthons for the Preparation of Heterocycles
2010
Abstract Thermal or photochemical ring opening transforms benzo[b]thiete to o-thiobenzoquinonemethide, a highly reactive 8π electron system. Cycloaddition reactions or linear additions with subsequent cyclizations lead to larger heterocyclic rings. A variety of compounds containing sulfur and possibly further heteroatoms like nitrogen, oxygen or phosphorus in normal, medium and large ring systems can be synthesized on this route.
Preparation of dithiacycloalkynes by cyclization reactions applying the cesium effect
1993
Abstract The strained dithiacycloalkynes 3a,b and the larger heterocyclic alkynes 3c and 4 are obtained by cesium assisted cyclization reactions of the dithiols 1a–c and 1,4-dibromo-2-butyne (2). The reactivity of 3a–c was studied in cycloaddition and complexation reactions generating the adducts 5a,b and 6 and the silver and cobalt complexes 7 and 8.
BENZOTHIETES—VERSATILE SYNTHONS FOR THE PREPARATION OF HETEROCYCLES
1994
Abstract Thermal or photochemical ring opening transforms benzo[b]thiete to o-thiobenzoquinonemethide, a highly reactive 8π electron system. Cycloaddition reactions or linear additions with subsequent cyclizations lead to larger heterocyclic rings. A variety of compounds containing sulfur and possibly further heteroatoms like nitrogen, oxygen or phosphorus in normal, medium and large ring systems can be synthesized on this route.
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions with meso-tetraarylchlorins – site selectivity and mixed bisadducts
2017
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of meso-tetraarylporphyrins with nitrones gives isoxazolidine-fused chlorins. Depending on the substitution pattern on the meso-aryl groups and the nitrone, the chlorins can be obtained in high yields (up to 91%). Bacteriochlorin-type bisadducts are also obtained, although in low yield, from the reaction of meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin with N-methyl, N-cyclohexyl or N-benzyl nitrone. The structure of a bis(N-benzyl isoxazolidine-fused) bacteriochlorin was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and rationalized by DFT calculations. To further explore the nature of site selectivity in the formation of bisadducts, isomeric mixed bacte…
Understanding the different reactivity of (Z)- and (E)-β-nitrostyrenes in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. An MEDT study
2021
The experimental reactivity of isomeric (Z)- and (E)-b-nitrostyrenes participating in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions has been analysed on the basis of molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the HF/6-311G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and uB97X-D/6-311G(d,p) computational levels. It was found that the polar zw-type 32CA reactions with 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide proceed via a one-step mechanism, characterised by the attack of the nucleophilic oxygen centre of the nitrone on the electrophilically activated b-position of these nitrostyrenes. This behaviour is completely understood by means of the analysis of the conceptual DFT reactivity indices. These 32CA reactions present low activat…
Understanding the mechanism and regioselectivity of the copper(i) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between azide and alkyne: a systematic DFT…
2017
The copper(I) catalyzed azide–alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction and its uncatalyzed version have been studied for systematic understanding of this relevant organic transformation, using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) (LANL2DZ for Cu) computational levels. In the absence of a copper(I) catalyst, two regioisomeric reaction paths were studied, indicating that the 32CA reaction takes place through an asynchronous one-step mechanism with a very low polar character. The two reactive channels leading to 1,4- and 1,5-regisomer present similar high activation energies of 18.84 and 18.51 kcal mol−1, respectively. The coordination of copper(I) to alkyne produces relevant changes in …
