以单取代苯为模型,建立并论证了取代基诱导效应参数RI、共轭效应参数RC及诱导和共轭共同作用效应参数R,RI=128.5-δ1,RC=642.5-∑6n=2δn,R=771-∑6n=1δn,δn(n=1～6)是单取代苯苯环上6个碳原子Cn(n=1～6)的化学位移,δ1是取代位C1的化学位移,128.5为苯的13C化学位移。当参数R>0时,取代基对苯环有给电子效应。一般而言,RI<0、RC>0、R>0时,取代基是典型的使苯环活化的邻对位定位基;RI<0、RC<0、R<0时,取代基是使苯环钝化的间位定位基;其余情况参考δn的具体数值判定取代基的作用。能与苯环形成最佳共轭的基团,其与苯环直接相连的是与碳原子同周期的B、C、N、O、F。

A DFT study on the mechanisms for the cycloaddition reactions between 1‐Aza‐2‐azoniaallene cations and carbodiimides

The mechanisms of the title reactions between 1‐aza‐2‐azoniaallene cations and carbodiimides in the gas phase have been examined using the Becke‐3‐parameter‐Lee‐Yang‐Parr (B3LYP) at 6‐31++G** level. The theoretical results revealed that the reaction is a domino reaction that comprises two consecutive reactions: an ionic [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between 1‐aza‐2‐azoniallene cation and carbodiimide to yield the cycloadduct 3 and then a [1,2]‐shift to yield the thermodynamically more stable adduct 4 . Both stepwise and concerted pathways are accessible in the first cycloaddition in the model reaction. The activation barriers of them are almost equivalent. For the [1,2]‐shift reactions, both of the electron‐withdrawing chlorine substituent and the electron‐releasing methyl substituent on the 1‐aza‐2‐azoniaallene cation can facilitate the reaction but have little effects when substituted in the carbodiimide moiety. The model reaction has also been investigated at the QCISD (quadratic configuration interaction using single and double substitutions)/6‐31++G** and CCSD(T) (coupled cluster calculations with single and double excitations and a perturbative estimate of triple contributions calculations)/6‐31++G** levels as well as by the density functional theory. In addition, solvent effects with the isodensity‐surface polarized continuum model are also reported for all the reactions. In solvent dichloromethane, the cycloadducts of all the reactions, except model reaction and reaction d, were obtained from reactants directly as the result of the solvent effect. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrostatic calculation of the substituent effect: an efficient test on isolated molecules

The energy of a disubstituted molecule has often been approximated by simple electrostatic formulas that represent the substituents as poles or dipoles. Herein, we test this approach on a new model system that is more direct and more efficient than testing on acid-base properties. The energies of 27 1,4-derivatives of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane were calculated within the framework of the density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level; interaction of the two substituents was evaluated in terms of isodesmic homodesmotic reactions. This interaction energy, checked previously on some experimental gas-phase acidities, was considered to be accurate and served as reference to test the electrostatic approximation. This approximation works well in the qualitative sense as far as the sign and the order of magnitude are concerned: beginning with the strongest interaction between two poles, a weaker interaction between pole and dipole, and the weakest between two dipoles. However, all the electrostatic calculations yield energies that are too small, particularly for weak interaction, and this fundamental defect is not remedied by some possible improvements. In particular, variation of the effective permittivity would require a physically impossible value less than unity. The explanation must lie in a more complex distribution of electron density than anticipated in the electrostatic model. It also follows that possible conclusions about the transmission of substituent effects "through space" have little validity.     

A Theoretical Study of Ene Reactions in Solution: A Solution‐Phase Translational Entropy Model

Several density functional theory (DFT) methods, such as CAM‐B3LYP, M06, ωB97x, and ωB97xD, are used to characterize a range of ene reactions. The Gibbs free energy, activation enthalpy, and entropy are calculated with both the gas‐ and solution‐phase translational entropy; the results obtained from the solution‐phase translational entropies are quite close to the experimental measurements, whereas the gas‐phase translational entropies do not perform well. For ene reactions between the enophile propanedioic acid (2‐oxo‐1,3‐dimethyl ester) and π donors, the two‐solvent‐involved explicit+implicit model can be employed to obtain accurate activation entropies and free‐energy barriers, because the interaction between the carbonyl oxygen atom and the solvent in the transition state is strengthened with the formation of C?C and O?H bonds. In contrast, an implicit solvent model is adequate to calculate activation entropies and free‐energy barriers for the corresponding reactions of the enophile 4‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazoline‐3,5‐dione.

Computational Investigation of the Substituent Effect on the Intramolecular Proton Transfer Reaction of 3-Hydroxytropolone

The effects of substituent type and position on the proton transfer reaction of 3-hydroxytropolone(3-OHTRN) have been investigated theoretically by using density functional theory at the level of B3LYP/ 6-31+G** method. The influence of solvent on the proton transfer reactions of substituted 3-OHTRN has been examined using the self-consistent isodensity polarized continuum model(SCI-PCM) in water. As a result, while the proton transfer reaction is kinetically the easiest by substitution on position 3 of-NH2 group in the gas phase, it is kinetically the easiest by substitution on position 5 of the same group in water. In addition, these reactions are either kinetically or thermodynamically easier in the gas phase than that in water, except the reaction of structure with-NH2 group at position 6.     

Origin of enantioselectivity in the Ru(arene)(amino alcohol)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of ketones

The origin of the enantioselectivity in the ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation has been studied by means of experiment and density functional theory calculations. The results clearly show that electrostatic effects are of importance, not only in the T-shaped arene-aryl interaction in the favored transition state but also between the aryl of the substrate and the amine ligand in the disfavored TS. In addition, the electrostatic interaction between the alkyl substituent of the substrate and the catalyst is of importance to the enantioselectivity. The major cause of enantioselection is found to be of nonelectrostatic origin. This inherent property of the catalytic system is discussed in terms of dispersion forces and solvent effects. Finally, a minor but well-characterized steric effect was identified. The success of this class of catalysts in the reduction of alkyl aryl ketones is based on the fact that all factors work in the same direction.     

Conformational preferences and cis-trans isomerization of azaproline residue

The conformational study of N-acetyl-N'-methylamide of azaproline (Ac-azPro-NHMe, the azPro dipeptide) is carried out using ab initio HF and density functional methods with the self-consistent reaction field method to explore the effects of the replacement of the backbone CHalpha group by the nitrogen atom on the conformational preferences and prolyl cis-trans isomerization in the gas phase and in solution (chloroform and water). The incorporation of the Nalpha atom into the prolyl ring results in the different puckering, backbone population, and barriers to prolyl cis-trans isomerization from those of Ac-Pro-NHMe (the Pro dipeptide). In particular, the azPro dipeptide has a dominant backbone conformation D (beta2) with the cis peptide bond preceding the azPro residue in both the gas phase and solution. This may be ascribed to the favorable electrostatic interaction or intramolecular hydrogen bond between the prolyl nitrogen and the amide hydrogen following the azPro residue and to the absence of the unfavorable interactions between electron lone pairs of the acetyl carbonyl oxygen and the prolyl Nalpha. This calculated higher population of the cis peptide bond is consistent with the results from X-ray and NMR experiments. As the solvent polarity increases, the conformations B and B* with the trans peptide bond become more populated and the cis population decreases more, which is opposite to the results for the Pro dipeptide. The conformation B lies between conformations D and A (alpha) and conformation B* is a mirror image of the conformation B on the phi-psi map. The barriers to prolyl cis-trans isomerization for the azPro dipeptide increase with the increase of solvent polarity, and the cis-trans isomerization proceeds through only the clockwise rotation with omega' approximately +120 degrees about the prolyl peptide bond for the azPro dipeptide in the gas phase and in solution, as seen for the Pro dipeptide. The pertinent distance d(N...H-NNHMe) and the pyramidality of imide nitrogen can describe the role of this hydrogen bond in stabilizing the transition state structure and the lower rotational barriers for the azPro dipeptide than those for the Pro dipeptide in the gas phase and in solution.     

Modeling substituent and conformational effects on the reactivity of antitumor agents containing a cyclopropylcyclohexadienone subunit

The uncatalyzed alkylation reactions of ammonia by the parent spirocyclopropylcyclohexadienone (6), its 3-amino analogue (7), the cyclic derivative (8), its N-formyl derivative (9), and a closer model (10) of the CPI (1-4) drugs have been investigated in gas phase and in water solvent bulk, using density functional theory at the B3LYP level with several basis sets and the C-PCM solvation model. The effect of several structural key features such as the vinylogous amide conjugation, the acylation of the 2-amino substituent, the ring constraint of the heterocyclic nitrogen atom at C(2) carbon in a ring, and the presence of a condensed pyrrole ring on the reaction activation energy have been investigated. Substrate 7, which is a flexible conformational model of the cyclopropylpyrroloindole moiety (CPI) contained in the duocarmycins, has been used to model the shape-dependent reactivity of these drugs, in gas phase and water solutions. The calculations indicate that shape dependence of reactivity is strongly operative both in gas phase and in polar solvents, since conformational effects are capable of reducing the reaction activation energy by -8.4 and -4.3 kcal mol(-1) in gas phase and in water solution, respectively, that is required to promote "conformational catalysis".
