Caryolene-forming carbocation rearrangements
Density functional theory calculations on mechanisms of the formation of caryolene, a putative biosynthetic precursor to caryol-1(11)-en-10-ol, reveal two mechanisms for caryolene formation: one involves a base-catalyzed deprotonation/reprotonation sequence and tertiary carbocation minimum, whereas the other (with a higher energy barrier) involves intramolecular proton transfer and the generati...
متن کاملCarbocation branching observed in a simulation.
We have observed the branching rearrangement of a straight-chain secondary carbocation (C9H19+) in an ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) reverse-annealing (rising-temperature) simulation. The mechanism observed is one involving closed (protonated-cyclopropane) structures, previously observed in traditional geometry optimization calculations. However, the simulations give us a better understand...
متن کاملSubtelomeric Rearrangements in Patients with Recurrent Miscarriage
Objective The Subtelomeric rearrangements are increasingly being investigated in cases of idiopathic intellectual disabilities (ID) and congenital abnormalities (CA) but have also been suspected to be responsible for unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM). We have noticed a higher risk of subtelomeric translocations in association with CA and ID. Such rearrangements can go unnoticed through con...
متن کاملThiamin phosphate synthase: the rate of pyrimidine carbocation formation.
Carbocations have fascinated organic chemists for almost a century, and the properties of this reactive intermediate have been thoroughly studied.1 Carbocations have been proposed as intermediates in several enzyme-catalyzed reactions, such as the prenyl transfer and cyclization reactions involved in terpene biosynthesis,2,3 the pyrrole tetramerization involved in porphyrin biosynthesis,4 the g...
متن کاملOn the tunneling instability of a hypercoordinated carbocation.
C(CH3)5(+), a pentacoordinate carbocation, was recently described as a "fleeting" molecule, that is, stable only at low temperatures. Herein it is shown using theoretical methods that, owing to carbon tunneling, the molecule is not persistent even at 0 K. One possible way to lengthen its lifespan is by deuterium substitution, in spite of the fact that no bond to hydrogen is broken.
