G2(MP2) study of the substituent effects in the H3BXHnMe3−n (X=N, P; n=0–3) donor–acceptor complexes
1998
Abstract The complexation energies of H 3 BXH n Me 3− n (X=N, P; n =0–3) donor–acceptor complexes have been investigated at the G2(MP2) level of theory. MP2(Full)/6-31G(d) optimized geometries and G2(MP2) calculated complexation energies are in good agreement with experiment. Increasing methyl substitutions on `X' donor atom augments both the basicity of XH n Me 3− n Lewis bases and the stability of complex. The NBO partitioning scheme suggests that there is no correlation between the charge transfer and the complexation energies.

DFT Study of the Molecular Mechanism of Lewis Acid Induced [4 + 3] Cycloadditions of 2-Alkylacroleins with Cyclopentadiene
2009
The mechanism of the Lewis acid (AlCl(3)) induced [4 + 3] cycloaddition of 2-methylacrolein with cyclopentadiene (Cp) [ J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 2692] has been examined here through DFT calculations at the MPW1K(DCM)/6-31+G** level. Formation of these seven-membered carbocycles is a domino process that comprises three consecutive reactions. The first one is a polar Diels-Alder reaction that is initialized by the nucleophilic attack of Cp to the beta-conjugated position of acrolein, yielding the formation of the endo and exo [4 + 2] cycloadducts. The corresponding LA-[4 + 2] cycloadduct complexes equilibrate through a skeleton rearrangement with a low free activation energy with two seve…

Über die wirksamkeit von lewis-basen als initiatoren der anionischen polymerisation von formaldehyd. 27. Mitt. über polyoxymethylene
1966
Die anionische Polymerisation des monomeren Formaldehydes mit LEWIS-Basen wurde bei −78°C in Ather, Aceton und Toluol untersucht. Die Basizitat der LEWIS-Basen ist ein wichtiger Faktor for ihre Initiatoraktivitat, ist jedoch nicht allein entscheidend; es spielen auch strukturelle und steren rische Faktoren eine Rolle. Primare Amine sind wahrscheinlich deshalb schlechte Initiatoren, weil sie mit Formaldehyd Methylol- und Dimethylolamine bilden. Verzweigungen aliphatischer Substituenten wirken sich um so starker retardierend aus, je naher sich die Verzweigungsstelle am Stickstoffatom befindet. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit steigt bei den meisten Aminen mit zunehmender Polaritat des Losun…
Why Do Five-Membered Heterocyclic Compounds Sometimes Not Participate in Polar Diels–Alder Reactions?
2013
The reactions of bicyclic enone (BCE, 1) with cyclopentadiene (Cp, 2) and the five-membered heterocyclic compounds (FHCs) furan 3 and N-methyl pyrrole 4 for the construction of polycyclic heterocyclic compounds have been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. No reaction takes place in the absence of Lewis acid (LA) catalysts as a consequence of the high activation energy associated with these reactions. Electrophilic activation of BCE 1 by formation of a complex with the BF3 LA, 1-BF3, and solvent effects favor the reactions. However, a different reactivity is manifested by Cp 2 and FHCs 3 and 4. Thus, while the reaction of 1-BF3 with Cp 2 yields the expected exo [4 + 2] cycloadduct, the react…
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…
ChemInform Abstract: Low-Loading Asymmetric Organocatalysis
2012
Asymmetric organocatalysis is now recognized as the third pillar of asymmetric synthesis. Recent years have witnessed increasing interest towards the use of highly active and stereoselective organocatalysts. This critical review documents the advances in the development of chiral organocatalysts which are systematically used in ≤3 mol% loading in all the sub-areas of the field, namely aminocatalysis, Bronsted acids and bases, Lewis acids and bases, hydrogen bond-mediated catalysis, phase transfer and N-heterocyclic carbene catalyses (194 references).
