ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Synthesis of Cyclopentanes Bearing Four Contiguous Stereocenters via an NHC-Catalyzed Michael/Michael/Esterification …
2016
An NHC-catalyzed Michael/Michael/esterification domino reaction via homoenolate/enolate intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of tetrasubstituted cyclopentanes bearing four contiguous stereocenters is described. A variety of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and 2-nitroallylic acetates react well with good domino yields and high stereoselectivities.

DNA-Based Enzyme Reactors and Systems
2016
During recent years, the possibility to create custom biocompatible nanoshapes using DNA as a building material has rapidly emerged. Further, these rationally designed DNA structures could be exploited in positioning pivotal molecules, such as enzymes, with nanometer-level precision. This feature could be used in the fabrication of artificial biochemical machinery that is able to mimic the complex reactions found in living cells. Currently, DNA-enzyme hybrids can be used to control (multi-enzyme) cascade reactions and to regulate the enzyme functions and the reaction pathways. Moreover, sophisticated DNA structures can be utilized in encapsulating active enzymes and delivering the molecular…
Mechanistic details of the domino reaction of nitronaphthalenes with the electron-rich dienes. A DFT study
2008
Abstract The reaction of 1-nitronaphthalene ( 1 ) with the Danishefsky diene ( 2 ) to give the dihydrophenanthrene derivative 11 has been theoretically studied using DFT methods. This reaction is a domino process that is initialized by a polar Diels–Alder reaction between 1 and 2 to give the formally [2 + 4] cycloadduct 3 . The subsequent concerted elimination of nitrous acid ( 4 ) from 3 yields 11 . Analysis of the global reactivity indices as well as the thermodynamic data for this domino process indicate that while the large electrophilic character of 1 together with the large nucleophilic character of 2 are responsible for the participation of these reagents in a polar Diels–Alder react…
Theoretical study on the mechanism of the domino reactions of tertiary α-cyano-enamines and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate
2001
Abstract The mechanisms of the domino reaction between dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, 1 , and 2-( N , N -dimethylamino)acrylonitrile, 2 , and these in presence of acrylonitrile have been theoretically studied using ab initio methods. These domino reactions comprise several pericyclic-type reactions. The geometrical and electronic analysis of the HF/6-31G ∗ transition structures and intermediates allows characterizing the processes that take place along these domino reactions. B3LYP/6-31G ∗ energetic results are in agreement with the experimental outcomes.
Understanding the domino reaction between 1-diazopropan-2-one and 1,1-dinitroethylene. A molecular electron density theory study of the [3 + 2] cyclo…
2017
The reaction between 1-diazopropan-2-one and 1,1-dinitroethylene has been studied using the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) computational level. This reaction comprises two domino processes initialised by a common [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction yielding a 1-pyrazoline, which participates in two competitive reaction channels. Along channel I, 1-pyrazoline firstly tautomerises to a 2-pyrazoline, which by a proton abstraction and spontaneous loss of nitrite anion yields the final pyrazole, while along channel II, the thermal extrusion of the nitrogen molecule in 1-pyrazoline gives a very reactive diradical intermediate which quickly yields the final gem-…
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the thermal [3+2] cycloaddition of carbonyl ylides with activated alkenes
2018
International audience; 4-Benzoyl-3,5-diaryltetrahydrofuran-2,2-dicarbonitriles were first synthesized from 2,2-dicyano-3-aryloxiranes and chalcones at toluene reflux; the 4,5-cis products proved to be predominantly formed and were isolated. Whereas shortened reaction times were observed by using microwave irradiation or catalytic cuprous chloride, no significant stereoselectivity change was in general noticed. Reacting 2,2-dicyano-3-aryloxiranes with 2-cyclopentenone next afforded 3-aryl-4-oxohexahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]furan-1,1-dicarbonitriles, and the endo stereoisomers were isolated. That no stereoselectivity change was noticed in the presence of cuprous chloride rather suggests an impac…
Understanding the domino reaction between 3-chloroindoles and methyl coumalate yielding carbazoles. A DFT study.
2014
The molecular mechanism of the reaction between N-methyl-3-chloroindole and methyl coumalate yielding carbazole has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d,p) level in toluene. This reaction is a domino process that comprises three consecutive reactions: (i) a polar Diels-Alder (P-DA) reaction between indole and methyl coumalate yielding two stereoisomeric [2 + 4] cycloadducts (CAs); (ii) the elimination of HCl from these CAs affording two stereoisomeric intermediates; and (iii) the extrusion of CO2 in these intermediates, finally yielding the carbazole. This P-DA reaction proceeds in a completely regioselective and slightly exo selective fashion. In spite of the highly polar …
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CASCADE REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS USING DIFFERENT REFRIGERANTS
2012
Due to the negative effects of synthetic refrigerants on the environment, natural refrigerants have obtained again interest as alternative refrigerants for different applications because of their zero ODP and negligible GWP. This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of different two-stage cascade refrigeration systems using as refrigerant carbon dioxide (R744) in low-temperature circuit, and, respectively, ammonia (R717), propane (R290), butane (R600), R404A, R410A and R134a in high-temperature circuit. The operating parameters considered in this study include condensing and evaporating temperatures in high-temperature circuit, temperature difference in the cascade heat exchanger, and e…
