Bimolecular hydrogen transfer in phenalene by a stepwise ene-like reaction mechanism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the hydrogen transfer of phenalene, a bimolecular ene-like mechanism is proposed, which is preferable over the hypothesized unimolecular rearrangement in the literature. Unique SOMO-SOMO pi-bonding of phenalenyl reduces the barriers of pericyclic reactions significantly. Pi-bonding between radicals is being recognized as a novel type of bonding interaction. This paper adds to the use of this interaction by pointing out its effect on reaction barriers.

Kinetic effects of hydrogen bonds on proton-coupled electron transfer from phenols.
The kinetics and mechanism of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a series of phenols to a laser flash generated [Ru(bpy)(3)](3+) oxidant in aqueous solution was investigated. The reaction followed a concerted electron-proton transfer mechanism (CEP), both for the substituted phenols with an intramolecular hydrogen bond to a carboxylate group and for those where the proton was directly...
متن کاملA theoretical study on the mechanisms of the reactions between 1,3-dialkynes and ammonia derivatives for the formation of five-membered N-heterocycles.
The reactions between 1,3-dialkynes and ammonia derivatives (such as hydrazine and hydroxylamine) for the formation of five-membered N-heterocycles (i.e. 3,5-disubstituted pyrazole and 3,5-disubstituted isoxazole) have been investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results indicate that the favorable mechanism of this kind of reaction generally contains four ...
متن کاملThe aromatic ene reaction
The ene reaction is a pericyclic process in which an alkene with an allylic hydrogen atom (the ene donor) reacts with a second unsaturated species (the enophile) to form a new product with a transposed π-bond. The aromatic ene reaction, in which the alkene component is embedded in an aromatic ring, has only been reported in a few (four) instances and has proceeded in low yield (≤6%). Here, we s...
متن کاملInitial Decomposition Reactions of Bicyclo-HMX [BCHMX or cis- 1,3,4,6-Tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4,5‐d]imidazole] from Quantum Molecular Dynamics Simulations
We investigated the initial chemical reactions of BCHMX [cis1,3,4,6-tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4,5-d]imidazole] with the following procedure. First we used density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations (DFT-MD) on the periodic crystal to discover the initial reaction steps. This allowed us to determine the most important reactions through DFT-MD simulations at high temperatures. The...

In this study, the modeling of hydrogen production process in microreactors by methanol-steam reforming reaction is investigated. The catalytic reaction of methanol-steam reforming producing hydrogen is simulated considering a 3D geometry for the microreactor. To calculate diffusion among species, mixture average correlations are compared to Stephan-Maxwell equations. The reactions occurring in...
