A density functional theory study for the Diels–Alder reaction between N-acyl-1-aza-1,3-butadienes and vinylamines. Lewis acid catalyst and solvent e…

Abstract The molecular mechanism for the Diels–Alder reaction of N-acyl-1-aza-1,3-butadiene with dimethylvinylamine has been studied using density functional theory methods. This cycloaddition is the nucleophilic attack of the vinylamine to the conjugate position of the unsaturated acyl imine with concomitant ring-closure. The presence of a Lewis acid catalyst coordinated to the acyl oxygen atom decreases markedly the activation energy associated to the nucleophilic attack. This results from an increasing of the electrophilicity of the 1-aza-1,3-butadiene that shift the mechanism from a highly asynchronous concerted process to a polar stepwise one.

Density functional theory study of the Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of nitroalkenes with vinyl ethers using aluminum derivatives

2002

The inverse electron demand Diels–Alder reaction of nitroalkenes with vinyl ethers catalyzed by Lewis acids based on aluminum metal, AlMe3, Al(OMe)3 and AlCl3 was studied using density functional theory methods. A continuum model was selected to represent the effects of dichloromethane used as solvent. For this cycloaddition reaction two reactive channels corresponding to the endo and exo approach modes of the vinyl ether to the Lewis acid-coordinated nitroalkene were studied. Coordination of the aluminum metal to an oxygen atom of the nitroalkene increases the electrophilicity of the heterodiene, decreasing the activation energy of the cycloaddition. The substitution effect on the aluminum…

2012

The oxidation of N-protected p-aminophenol derivatives to quinone imides is combined with cycloaddition towards azadiene (II) in a one-pot reaction to give dihydrobenzofuran derivatives in moderate to good yields.

Structural study of ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates: conformation and transmission of substituent effects acro…

2001

Nine new ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates were prepared by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition and their FTIR, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra were measured and assigned. Single crystals were grown for five compounds and their X-ray data were obtained. The electronic structure and the conformations were calculated by the semi-empirical AM1 method. Using correlations between the spectral, empirical and theoretical structural data, the transmission of substituent effects and the preferential conformation connected with the consecutive double nitrogen inversion and regarding the mutual orientation of NH and CO bonds were investigated. The results are compared with those f…

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Structural Trends for Selenium(IV) Imides and Oxides: X-ray Structure of Se3(NAd) 2

2004

The thermal decomposition of Se(NAd)(2) (Ad = 1-adamantyl) in THF was monitored by (77)Se NMR and shown to give the novel cyclic selenium imide Se(3)(NAd)(2) as one of the products. An X-ray structural determination showed that Se(3)(NAd)(2) is a puckered five-membered ring with d(Se-Se) = 2.404(1) A and |d(Se-N)| = 1.873(4) A. On the basis of (77)Se NMR data, other decomposition products include the six-membered ring Se(3)(NAd)(3), and the four-membered rings AdNSe(micro-NAd)(2)SeO and OSe(micro-NAd)(2)SeO. The energies for the cyclodimerization of E(NR)(2) and RNEO (E = S, Se; R = H, Me, (t)Bu, SiMe(3)), and the cycloaddition reactions of RNSeO with E(NR)(2), RNSO(2) with Se(NR)(2), and S…

Synthesis and Stereochemistry of Diepoxynaphthacenes and Tetraepoxyheptacenes

1997

Cycloaddition reactions of 1,4-dihydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalenes (2) and benzo[c]furans (4), generated in situ from the tetracyclone adducts of 2, yield the diepoxynaphthacenes 5 (Schemes 1, 2). Out of 4 possible stereoisomers an exo-exo and an exo-endo geometry (A and C in Scheme 3) can be realized. The ratio A:C varies from pure A to pure C depending on the substituents of 2 and 4. Stereoisomeric heptacenes 7 can be obtained by a twofold cycloaddition of the same type (Scheme 4). Only one π bond of reactive alkynes such as cyclooctyne or acetylenedicarboxylate is capable of an addition to 4 (Schemes 5, 6).

Band-Shaped Structures by Repetitive Cycloaddition Reactions of Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]bisthiete

1997

Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]bisthiete (1) undergoes stepwise thermal opening of the 4-membered rings, thereby generating two highly reactive 8π systems (Scheme 1). In the presence of 1,4-dihydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalenes 2, the dithiaheptacene derivatives 3 are formed, dehydration of which leads to the compounds 4 and 5 (Scheme 2). Repetitive cycloaddition reactions of 1 with the twofold 2π component 11 (Scheme 3) yield the oligomers 15 with statistically bent (and possibly cyclic) structures (Schemes 4 and 5). While 15 and the related oligomers 14 are freely soluble in many organic solvents, the dehydrated systems 16 (Scheme 6) are totally insoluble.
