Unusual structure-energy correlations in intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction transition states.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detailed analysis of calculated data from an experimental/computational study of intramolecular furan Diels-Alder reactions has led to the unusual discovery that the mean contraction of the newly forming C-C σ-bonds from the transition state to the product shows a linear correlation with both reaction Gibbs free energies and reverse energy barriers. There is evidence for a similar correlation in other intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions involving non-aromatic dienes. No such correlation is found for intermolecular Diels-Alder reactions.

DFT Study on the Possible Intramolecular Rearrangement of Four Monocyclic Monoterpenes
As the basis and preliminary work of future experimental study on PAHs formation under high temperature, theoretical computations on the intramolecular rearrangement reactions of sylvestrene (1-methyl-3-vinylcyclohexene) and 1,4-dimethyl-4-vinylcyclohexene are conducted and reveal that they may be transformed to themselves. The conversion between Dipentene and 2,4-dimethyl-4-vinylcyclohexen...

SpnF is the first monofunctional Diels-Alder/[6+4]-ase that catalyzes a reaction leading to both Diels-Alder and [6+4] adducts through a single transition state. The environment-perturbed transition-state sampling method has been developed to calculate free energies, kinetic isotope effects, and quasi-classical reaction trajectories of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and the uncatalyzed reaction in ...

B3LYP/6-31+G(d) calculations of structures and relative energies for competing transition states for intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions of substituted 3,5-hexadienyl acrylates and acrylamides show that boatlike conformations are sometimes favored in the forming ring that includes the tether.

The mechanism of the intramolecular Diels–Alder (IMDA) reaction of benzoquinone 1, in the absence and in the presence of three water molecules, 1w, has been studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) methods, using the M05-2X and B3LYP functionals for exploration of the potential energy surface (PES). The energy and geometrical results obtained are complemented with a population ...

A metal-free and formal [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of triynes has emerged recently as a novel methodology for the synthesis of fused tricyclic compounds via an intramolecular cascade propargylic ene reaction, Diels-Alder cycloaddition and tautomerization. DFT calculations on three model systems reveal that the ene reaction with low distortion energy makes the metal-free strategy feasible and, as...
