The adjacent centres of electrophilicity and nucleophilicity lead to interesting chemical reactivity in the title reagent.

Introduction Diels-Alder reaction (D-A) is one of the most widely used synthetic strategies for the synthesis of natural products due to its character of generating cyclic systems. By this reaction cyclic compounds characteristic of some families of alkaloids may be directly developed, thus being of high value in synthesis (Biolatto et al., 1999; Della Rosa et al., 2004a). The use of aromatic c...

The energy barriers of symmetrical methyl exchanges in the gas phase have been calculated with the reaction path of the intersecting/interacting-state model (ISM). Reactive bond lengths increase down a column of the Periodic Table and compensate for the decrease in the force constants, which explains the near constancy of the intrinsic barriers in the following series of nucleophiles: F(-) appr...

In this research, the quantum mechanics calculations were carried out to elucidate the adsorption behavior of metronidazole drug on the surface of pristine as well as doped C60 fullerene with Si, B and Al using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. After optimization of the structures, various parameters such as HOMO and LUMO energies, gap energy, adsorption ener...

Our experimental and computational results demonstrate an unusual electrophilicity of oxalic acid, the simplest dicarboxylic acid. The monomer is characterized by an adiabatic electron affinity and electron vertical detachment energy of 0.72 and 1.08 eV (±0.05 eV), respectively. The electrophilicity results primarily from the bonding carbon-carbon interaction in the singly occupied molecular or...

In the current report, interaction of Al-doped carbon nanotubes (CNT) with carbazochrome, an anti-hemorrhagic or hemostatic agent, was investigated M06-2X functional and 6-31G* basis set. The global index including frontier molecular orbital energies, hardness, softness, chemical Gibbs energies some parameters NLO properties Carbazochrome, Al doped CNT complexes formed between their were calcul...

The present approach for determining the electrophilicity (E) and nucleophilicity (N) of aldehydes includes a kinetic study of KMNO4 oxidation and NaBH4 reduction of aldehydes. A transition state analysis of the KMNO4 promoted aldehyde oxidation reaction has been performed, which shows a very good correlation with experimental results. The validity of the experimental method has been tested usi...

using the computational methods, the interaction effect of tyrosine amino acid on graphene wasinvestigated. for this purpose, the density functional theory (dft) in the ground state of 6-31gwas used, and the interaction effects of tyrosine on graphene was investigated through attachmentto three different base positions. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount ofchemical shift in ...
