Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonine
1988
MNDO-Rechnungen zeigen, das fur die drei konstitutionsisomeren cis-Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonine (1–3) jeweils zwei energiearme, zueinander diastereomere Konformere a und b existieren. Zur experimentellen Uberprufung werden die mit der Selenadiazol-Methode oder durch Dehydrobromierung hergestellten, hoch gespannten Bicyclen mit Hilfe von 1H- und 13C-NMR-Messungen auf die Population der Konformeren und auf deren wechselseitige Umwandlung durch Inversion der Achtringe untersucht. Bicyclo[6.1.0]nonine MNDO calculations reveal that two diastereomeric conformations a and b of low energy exist for each of the three isomeric cis-bicyclo[6.1.0]nonynes (1–3). For the experimental proof, the highly strained b…
ChemInform Abstract: Spectroscopic and Theoretical Studies on the Internal Rotational Barrier of 1-Acetylcyclohexene
1987
Abstract MINDO-3 molecular orbital calculations with full geometry optimization have been carried out on 1-acetylcyclohexene (ACH) in order to estimate the rotational barrier for the acetyl group, and to localize the less energetic conformation. MNDO calculations have also been carried out for comparative purposes. Both methods point to the non-delocalized structure with the two π-clouds perpendicular to the less energetic conformation. A decomposition of the barrier energy by means of Fourier analysis is made in order to characterize the contributions to the barrier. The UV spectrum of ACH has been recorded both in vapor phase and in hexane solution. These spectra are related to the one ca…
ChemInform Abstract: 1H-Naphtho(2,1-b)thiete and 2H-Naphtho(2,3-b)thiete - Synthesis and Reactivity.
2010
Abstract The title compounds 4 and 8 are obtained by flash vacuum pyrolysis of the corresponding hydroxymethylthionaphthols 3 and 7. Whereas 4 shows a smooth ring opening on heating, 8 is thermally stable but reacts photochemically. The different behavior is explained on the basis of an MNDO calculation. The valence isomers 4′ and 8′ represent thioquinonemethides, which are highly reactive components in [12π + 2π]cycloaddition processes (4 → 9, 10, 11; 8 → 12).
Thermische Cycloadditionen von 1,2‐Dihydropentalen
1989
1,2-Dihydropentalen (1) ist ein gekreuzt konjugiertes 6π-Elektronensystem, das in thermischen Cycloadditionen als 2π-, 4π- oder 6π-Komponente fungieren kann. Es werden die Additionen an Tetraphenylcyclopentadienon (1+23), N-Phenylmaleinimid (1+45) und Tropon (1+68 bzw. 10) beschrieben. Auf der Basis von MNDO-Rechnungen werden Peri-, Regio- und Stereoselektivitat anhand von primaren und sekundaren Orbitalwechselwirkungen diskutiert. Thermal Cycloaddition of 1,2-Dihydropentalene 1,2-Dihydropentalene (1) is a cross-conjugated 6π-electron system, that can act in thermal cycloaddition processes as a 2π, 4π, or 6π component. The addition reactions with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (1+23), N-pheny…
The electronic substituent influence on the thermally allowed electrocyclic interconversion cyclobutene/butadiene. A MNDO study
1984
The effects of donor/acceptor substitution on the conrotatory cyclobutene/butadiene interconversion have not yet been experimentally studied. MNDO Synchronous Transit/MINIMAX calculations for all possible combinations of NH2/NH3 + 3 groups at the fissile single bond reveal very large substituent effects on the opening reactions and reverse cyclisations. Diamino(1b/2b), diammonio-(1c/2c) and amino-ammonio-substitutions (1d/2d) change the activation energy of the reference ring opening reaction (1a →2a) from 49.9 kcal/mol to 34.7, 29.8 and 26.0 kcal/mol, respectively. This rate enhancement parallels the monotone shift of the transition state pathcoordinate towards the cyclobutenes. Relative t…
Theoretical study of degenerate Boulton-Katritzky rearrangements. Semiempirical and ab initio procedures
1998
Abstract A theoretical study of degenerate Boulton–Katritzky rearrangements concerning the anions of the 3-formylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazole, 3-formylmethyl-isoxazole and 3-hydroxy-iminomethyl-1,2,5-oxadiazole has been carried out by using semiempirical MNDO and ab initio Hartree–Fock procedures. Different transition structures and reactive pathways were obtained in the two cases. Semiempirical treatment shows asymmetrical transition states and non-concerted processes via symmetrical intermediates. By contrast, ab initio procedures describe concerted and synchronous processes involving symmetrically-located transition states. Some comments and criticisms on the theoretical treatment of these typ…
Benchmark Study for the Cysteine-Histidine Proton Transfer Reaction in a Protein Environment: Gas Phase, COSMO, QM/MM Approaches.
2015
Proton transfer reactions are of crucial interest for the investigation of proteins. We have investigated the accuracy of commonly used quantum chemical methods for the description of proton transfer reactions in different environments (gas phase, COSMO, QM/MM) using the proton transfer between the catalytic dyad residues cysteine 145 and histidine 41 of SARS coronavirus main protease as a case study. The test includes thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural properties. The study comprises computationally demanding ab initio approaches (HF, CC2, MP2, SCS-CC2, SCS-MP2, CCSD(T)), popular density functional theories (BLYP, B3LYP, M06-2X), and semiempirical methods (MNDO/d, AM1, RM1, PM3, PM6). …
Theoretical study of selective H3 receptor antagonists of histamine
1993
Abstract The conformations and charge distributions of three selective H3 receptor antagonists of histamine were determined using the MNDO approach. The results suggest that the conformational flexibilities of betahistine, N α-(2-phenylacetyl)histamine and thioperamide are different; however, the low-energy conformations of these compounds show closely related spatial orderings. The MNDO calculations predict a significant population of the N1H form in the imidazole systems of N α-(2-phenylacetyl)histamine and thioperamide. Our results indicate that the conformational behaviour of H3 antagonists is closely similar to that reported for H2 antagonists of histamine. These results emphasize the …
1H-naphtho[2,1-b]thiete and 2H-naphtho[2,3-b]thiete- synthesis and reactivity
1994

Whereas 4 shows a smooth ring opening on heating, 8 is thermally stable but reacts photochemically. The different behavior is explained on the basis of an MNDO calculation.

9‐Oxabicyclo[6.1.0]nonine
1989
Semiempirische quantenmechanische Rechnungen (MNDO) und Kraftfeldrechnungen (MM2) zeigen, das fur die drei konstitutionsisomeren cis-9-Oxabicyclo[6.1.0]nonine 1–3 jeweils zwei energiearme, zueinander diastereomere Konformere a und b existieren. Der synthetische Zugang zu den hoch gespannten Verbindungen 1–3 gelingt mit der Selenadiazolmethode oder durch Dehydrobromierung (Schemata 3, 4 und 6). Die NMR-spektroskopische Konformationsanalyse bestatigt bei 2 das vorhergesagte Konformerengleichgewicht; bei 1 gehen selbst bei –60°C die beiden Konformeren durch Umklappen des Achtrings schnell ineinander uber, und bei 3 ist praktisch nur eine Konformation populiert. 9-Oxabicyclo[6.1.0]nonynes Semie…
