Toward an Understanding of the Mechanisms of the Intramolecular [5 + 2] Cycloaddition Reaction of γ-Pyrones Bearing Tethered Alkenes. A Theoretical S…

2000

The molecular mechanism for the intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of β-silyloxy-γ-pyrones bearing tethered alkenes has been characterized using ab initio methods. A comparative study for this sort of cycloaddition carried out at different computational levels points out that the B3LYP/6-31G* calculations give similar barriers to those obtained with the MP3/6-31G* level. Analysis of the energetic results shows that the reaction takes place along a stepwise process:  first, the migration of the neighboring silyl group to the carbonyl group of the γ-pyrone takes place to give a weak oxidopyrylium ylide intermediate, which by a subsequent concerted intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloadditi…

Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing tetralin derivatives by sequential (hetero)Michael reaction–intramolecular n…

2017

The enantioselective synthesis of tetralin derivatives bearing a trifluoromethylated all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter has been accomplished through a synthetic sequence comprising an organocatalytic β‐functionalization of ortho‐1‐trifluoromethylvinyl‐(hetero)aromatic conjugated aldehydes followed by the intramolecular nitrone 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction (INCR). Both nitromethane and N‐Cbz‐hydroxylamine were employed as nucleophiles in the initial organocatalytic conjugate addition step, which provided the chiral information required for the subsequent diastereoselective INCR. Although diastereoselectivity was moderate, good yields and enantioselectivities were, in general, obtained. Intere…

ChemInform Abstract: 1,2,3-Triazole in Heterocyclic Compounds, Endowed with Biological Activity, Through 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions

2014

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions can be considered a powerful synthetic tool in the building of heterocyclic rings, with applications in different fields. In this review we focus on the synthesis of biologically active compounds possessing the 1,2,3-triazole core through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The 1,2,3-triazole skeleton can be present as a single disubstituted ring, as a linker between two molecules, or embedded in a polyheterocycle. The cycloaddition reactions are usually catalysed by copper or ruthenium. Domino reactions can be achieved through dipolarophile anion formation, generally followed by cyclisation. The variety of attainable heterocyclic structures gives an ill…

A DFT Characterization of the Mechanism for the Cycloaddition Reaction between 2-Methylfuran and Acetylenedicarboxylic Acid

1999

The molecular mechanism for the cycloaddition reaction between 2-methylfuran and acetylenedicarboxylic acid (ADA) has been characterized using density functional theory methods at the B3LYP/6-31+G* theory level. An analysis of the results on the reaction pathway shows that the reaction takes place along a stepwise mechanism. The initial step corresponds to the nucleophilic attack of the C5 position of the furan ring to one carbon atom of the conjugated acetylenic system of ADA to give a zwitterionic intermediate. Closure of this intermediate along the nucleophilic attack of the other acetylenic carbon to the substituted C2 position of the furan ring affords the Diels−Alder cycloadduct. Alth…

Cycloaddition reactions of 2H-benzo[b]thiete and conjugated cyclic dienes

1996

2H-Benzo[b]thiete 1 reacts with cyclopentadiene 3 in consecutive [8π + 2π]cycloadditions yielding the condensed heterocycles 6–8. Tetracyclone 9 on the other hand gives only the monoadduct 10. An [8π + 8π]cycloaddition can be observed for 1 and diphenylisobenzofuran 11. The related π system 13 shows again consecutive [477π + 27π]processes (1 + 13 ← 14, 15).

WHY DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS ARE NON-CONCERTED PROCESSES

2014

ABSTRACT Two exhaustive topological analyses using the Electron Localisation Function (ELF) along the non-polar Diels-Alder reactions of 1,3-butadiene [J. Phys. Chem. A 107 , 6014 (2003)] and cyclopentadiene [Org. Biomol. Chem. 8 , 5495, (2010)] with ethylene established that the bonding changes along these reactions are non-concerted. Herein, the ELF bonding changes along the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of 1-( hex-5-enyl)cyclohexa-1,3-diene is analysed. The geometrical restrictions imposed by the tether break the synchronicity in the single bond formation in this non-polar reaction. The present ELF topological analysis along this intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction supports the ear…
