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…
Nucleophilic Additions of the Cyanide Anion to 4,4-Dichloro-1,1-Diphenyl-2-Azabuta-1,3-Diene
2002
The unexpected formation of a 2H-pyrrole by reaction of potassium cyanide with 4,4-dichloro-1,1-diphenyl-2-azabuta-1,3-diene and the mechanism of this reaction are described and the structures of the product and a trapped intermediate confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies.
Synthese und biochemische Eigenschaften substituierter Phenoxy- und Anilino-1,3,5-triazine
1983
Die nucleophile Substitution eines Chloratoms in 2,4-Dichlor-6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazin (1) durch die Hydroxyacetophenone 2a–c fuhrt zu den 2-Acetylphenoxy-4-chlor-6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazinen 3a–c. Analog geht aus der Umsetzung von 1 mit 4-Fluoranilin (4a) das Monoanilinoderivat 5a hervor; dagegen bildet sich unter den gleichen Reaktionsbedingungen aus 1 und 2-Fluoranilin (4b) das Dianilinoderivat 5b. Strukturtyp 3 zeichnet sich durch antimykotische und Antiprotozoenwirksamkeit aus, wahrend 5 herbizide Wirkungen auszulosen vermag.

A DFT study of the [3 + 2] versus [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 1,5,6-trimethylpyrazinium-3-olate with methyl methacrylate.
2013
The reaction between 1,5,6-trimethylpyrazinium-3-olate and methyl methacrylate (MMA) yielding a lactone-lactam has been studied using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. It is concluded that formation of the lactone-lactam is a domino process involving three consecutive reactions: (i) a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction between the pyrazinium-3-olate and MMA yielding a [3 + 2] cycloadduct (CA); (ii) a skeletal rearrangement, which converts the [3 + 2] CA into a formal [4 + 2] CA, possessing a diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane structure; and finally, (iii) an S(N)2 reaction, promoted by halide anion, with concomitant nucleophilic attack of the created carboxylate anion on an iminium …
Phospholylmethano P-chirogenic-phosphine-borane as P-(η2-BH3)-chelating ligands of rhodium (I): Synthesis, characterization and asymmetric hydrogenat…
2021
International audience; The stereoselective synthesis of new phospholylmethano P-chirogenic-phosphine-borane was achieved by P-C bond formation of the bridge, using electrophilic or nucleophilic P*-building blocks. These P1CH2P2*.BH3 ligands behaved as chelating (κ1-P1)-(η2-BH3) entities towards the cationic rhodium(I) centre. The resulting chiral rhodium complexes were tested in asymmetric rhodium catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl 2-(acetamido)acrylate.
The Aluminyl Anion : A New Generation of Aluminium Nucleophile
2020
Trivalent aluminium compounds are well known for their reactivity as Lewis acids/electrophiles, a feature that is exploited in many pharmaceutical, industrial and laboratory-based reactions. Recently, a series of isolable aluminium(I) anions ('aluminyls') have been reported, which offer an alternative to this textbook description: these reagents behave as aluminium nucleophiles. This minireview covers the synthesis, structure and reactivity of aluminyl species reported to date, together with their associated metal complexes. The frontier orbitals of each of these species have been investigated using a common methodology to allow for a like-for-like comparison of their electronic structure a…
Synthesis of novel fluorinated building blocks via halofluorination and related reactions.
2020
A study exploring halofluorination and fluoroselenation of some cyclic olefins, such as diesters, imides, and lactams with varied functionalization patterns and different structural architectures is described. The synthetic methodologies were based on electrophilic activation through halonium ions of the ring olefin bonds, followed by nucleophilic fluorination with Deoxo-Fluor®. The fluorine-containing products thus obtained were subjected to elimination reactions, yielding various fluorine-containing small-molecular entities.
Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies of (E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
2018
The title halogenated organic chalcone was prepared by a Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out to reveal the percentage contributions of the intermolecular interactions. A theoretical study was performed using the density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP with the 6–311 G++(d,p) basis set level to compare with the experimental results of the X-ray analysis and UV–vis absorption analysis in term of the geometrical parameters, HOMO-LUMO energy gap and charge distributions.
Unusual Regioselectivity in the Opening of Epoxides by Carboxylic Acid Enediolates
2008
Addition of carboxylic acid dianions appears to be a potential alternative to the use of aluminium enolates for nucleophilic ring opening of epoxides. These conditions require the use of a sub-stoichiometric amount of amine (10% mol) for dianion generation and the previous activation of the epoxide with LiCl. Yields are good, with high regioselectivity, but the use of styrene oxide led, unexpectedly, to a mixture resulting from the attack on both the primary and secondary carbon atoms. Generally, a low diastereoselectivity is seen on attack at the primary center, however only one diastereoisomer was obtained from attack to the secondary carbon of the styrene oxide.
Understanding the stereo- and regioselectivities of the polar Diels-Alder reactions between 2-acetyl-1,4-benzoquinone and methyl substituted 1,3-buta…
2009
The polar Diels–Alder (DA) reactions of 2-acetyl-1,4-benzoquinone (acBQ) with methyl substituted 1,3-butadienes have been studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. These reactions are characterized by a nucleophilic attack of the unsubstituted ends of the 1,3-dienes to the β conjugated position of the acBQ followed by ring-closure. The reactions present a total regioselectivity and large endo selectivity. The analysis based on the global electrophilicity of the reagents at the ground state, and the natural bond orbital (NBO) population analysis at the transition states correctly explain the polar nature of these cycloadditions. The large electrophilic character of acB…
