A Molecular Electron Density Theory Study of the Reactivity of Azomethine Imine in [3+2] Cycloaddition Reactions
2017
The electronic structure and the participation of the simplest azomethine imine (AI) in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions have been analysed within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) using DFT calculations at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d) level. Electron localisation function (ELF) topological analysis reveals that AI has a pseudoradical structure, while the conceptual DFT reactivity indices characterise this TAC as a moderate electrophile and a good nucleophile. The non-polar 32CA reaction of AI with ethylene takes place through a one-step mechanism with low activation energy, 5.3 kcal/mol-1. A bonding evolution theory (BET) study indicates that this reaction takes place through a non-…
Regioselective Synthesis of Mono- and Dispiropyrazoline Derivatives via 1,3-dipolar Cycloaddition with Nitrilimines
2016
The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of (E,E)-1,3-bis(arylidene)indan-2-one with diarylnitrilimines, generated in situ via dehydrohalogenation of the corresponding hydrazonoyl chlorides , affords predominantly monospiropyrazolines and as a mixture of diastereoisomers. Also dispiropyrazolines are formed in moderate yields. The structure and stereochemistry of cycloadducts were confirmed by 1H and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses data, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of and .
Exploring reactivity of a bis-sulfonium zirconocene-ate dimer: synthesis of various zwitterionic phosphonium anionic zirconocene complexes
2007
Abstract Formal [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between the bis-sulfonium zirconocene-ate dimer 1a and methylpropiolate, benzaldehyde and carbon disulfide afforded stable zwitterionic phosphonium zirconocene-ate complexes 2–4, respectively, with two orthocondensed five-membered heterocycles. X-ray crystal structure of 4 has been determined. Elemental chalcogens (S, Se, Te) gave rise also to a new variety of five-coordinate zirconium(IV) complexes (5–7) by a formal [3+1] cycloaddition reaction. In these bicyclic zirconates, sulfur is included in a five-membered ring while the second chalcogen is in a four-membered one.
Coupling of Azomethine Ylides with Nitrilium Derivatives ofcloso-Decaborate Clusters: A Synthetic and Theoretical Study
2012
The azomethine ylides p-R3C5H4N+CH−COC6H4R2-p (3 a: R3=H, R2=H, X=Br; 3 b: R3=H, R2=Me, X=I; 3 c: R3=H, R2=OMe, X=I; 3 d: R3=H, R2=F, X=I; 3 e: R3=Me, R2=Me, X=Br) react with the nitrile functionality of the closo-decaborate clusters [Bun4N][B10H9(NCR1)] (1 a: R1=Me; 1 b: R1=Et; 1 c: R1=Ph) in a CH3NO2 solution under mild conditions (20–25 °C, 2 min) to afford selectively products of the nucleophilic addition (ca. quantitative yields based on NMR analysis in [D6]DMSO, 71–87 % yield of isolated products). These products are the borylated enamino ketones as the salts bearing exclusively a tetrabutylammonium cation [Bun4N][B10H9{NCR1=C(N+C5H4R3-p)COC6H4R2-p}] (4 a–h,k–n) or the mixed salts [Bu…
Understanding the regio- and chemoselective polar [3+2] cycloaddition of the Padwa carbonyl ylides with α-methylene ketones. A DFT study
2009
The regio- and chemoselective polar [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) of the Padwa carbonyl ylide (CY) with α-methylene ketone (αMK) to yield the oxa-bridged spirocycloadduct has been studied using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational level. Six reactive channels associated to the stereo-, regio-, and chemoselective approach modes of the CY to the CC and CO reactive sites of the αMK have been analyzed. DFT calculations for this cycloaddition are in complete agreement with the experimental outcome, explaining the reactivity and selectivity of the formation of the [3+2] cycloadduct. Analysis of the global and local electrophilicity and nucleophilicity indices allows an explanation abou…
Cycloaddition Reactions with Vinyl Heterocycles
1995
Publisher Summary The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most common and elegant methods for the construction of six-membered rings. Although the number of Diels-Alder cycloadditions with open-chain and alicyclic dienes is very large, the number of examples with aromatic heterocyclic compounds is relatively small. The introduction of a vinyl group as a substituent onto a heterocycle increases the number of possible reactions. This new possibility, however attractive for synthetic purposes, is successful only with π-excessive five-membered heterocyclic derivatives with a few exceptions. The chapter discusses the reactions of vinyl heterocycles with carbodienophiles. The endocyclic and exo-en…
ChemInform Abstract: Reactions of the Hydrofluoroborate Salts of Open-Chain Analogues of Reissert Compounds with Some α,β-Ethylenic Esters.
2010
The reaction of the hydrofluoroborate salt of an open-chain analogue of a Reissert compound with some α,β-ethylenic esters does not give a [4 + 2] cycloadduct, as previously described in the case of ethyl acrylate. The reaction starts with a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a munchnone imine 5c, d. The [3 + 2] cycloadducts 13 evolve via a rearrangement–condensation sequence to give a substituted 2-pyridone derivative 18 or 19. The proposed mechanism has been verified by the isolation and structural X-ray analysis of some compounds of the reaction sequence.
A DFT study for the regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of nitrile N-oxides toward alkynylboronates
2003
Abstract The mechanism for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide toward ethynyl and propynylboronate has been studied by using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G* level. These cycloadditions are concerted [3+2] processes. The presence of the two oxygens on the boronic ester precludes the participation of the boron atom on [3+3] processes. The two regioisomeric channels associated to the formation of the isoxazoles bearing the boronic ester unit on the 4- or 5-positions have been characterized. The B3LYP/6-31G* activation parameters are in acceptable agreement with the experiments, allowing to explain the factors controlling these regioselective cycloadditions.
Carbohydrates as Stereodifferentiating Auxiliaries
2017
Carbohydrates are inexpensive natural products. Although they contain numerous functional groups and stereogenic centers in one molecule, carbohydrates were recognized as stereodifferentiating auxiliaries much later than other classes of natural products as for example amino acids or terpenes. Apart from their polyfunctional nature carbohydrates are characterized by the anomeric and exo-anomeric effects which have distinct influence of the spatial orientation of substituents linked to the anomeric position. Based on these stereochemical properties carbohydrates were used as stereodifferentiating auxiliaries in numerous diastereoselective reactions, such as aldol addition, alkylation reactio…
A Molecular Electron Density Theory Study of the [3+2] Cycloaddition Reaction of Pseudo(mono)radical Azomethine Ylides with Phenyl Vinyl Sulphone
2022
The [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of an azomethine ylide (AY), derived from isatin and L-proline, with phenyl vinyl sulphone has been studied within Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) at the ωB97X-D/6-311G(d,p) level. ELF topological analysis of AY classifies it as a pseudo(mono)radical species with two monosynaptic basins at the C1 carbon, integrating a total of 0.76 e. While vinyl sulphone has a strong electrophilic character, AY is a supernucleophile, suggesting a high polar character and low activation energy for the reaction. The nucleophilic Parr functions indicate that the pseudoradical C1 carbon is the most nucleophilic center. The 32CA reaction presents an activat…
