采用密度泛函理论(DFT)的计算方法, 研究了铂催化2-烯炔基苯甲醛水合环化反应的微观机理及化学选择性的根源. 计算结果表明, 首先炔基被催化活化而发生亲核环化生成吡喃铂中间体; 接着吡喃铂中间体与烯烃双键发生[3+2]环加成生成铂-碳卡宾复合物; 之后, 反应将沿2条路径进行, 得到产物3a或4a, 其中4a的生成需经两步水分子辅助的质子转移过程. 生成产物3a需要克服的活化能垒为146.5 kJ/mol; 对4a的生成, 烯醇式和酮式互变异构是决速步聚, 当一个水分子参与反应时, 对应的能垒为185.8 kJ/mol, 当2个和3个水分子参与反应时, 能垒分别降低到128.1和64.9 kJ/mol. 因此, 水分子参与催化得到产物4a的路径是有利的. 另外, 反应的选择性与在异构化过程中水的共催化作用有关. 以上结果很好地解释了实验现象, 并为铂催化水环化反应提供新的见解.

Density functional computations of proton affinity and gas-phase basicity of proline

The proton affinity and gas-phase basicity of proline were evaluated by using density functional theory coupling the B3-LYP hybrid functional with the extended 6--311++G** basis set. Cis and trans conformations of the carboxyl moiety for both exo and endo ring structures were considered for the neutral proline. The results show that the most stable structure of proline has the endo ring conformation with the carboxyl group in the cis position. The structure at the global minimum is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The nitrogen of the ring in the exo form is the preferred protonation site. The calculated proton affinity (924.3 kJ mol(-1)) and gas-phase basicity (894.4 kJ mol(-1)) are in very good agreement with the experimental counterparts.     

Diels-Alder Addition of Dicyclopentadiene with Cyclopentadiene in Polar Solvents

Diels-Alder addition of dicyclopentadiene and cyclopentadiene in polar solvents has been studied to produce tricyclopentadiene（TCPD） that is a potential high-density fuel precursor. GC and MS analysis shows that the adducts contain two isomers, namely exo- and endo-TCPD. Theoretical simulation shows that although the transition state of endo-TCPD has a lower activation energy, exo-TCPD is thermodynamically preferred. Polar solvents can accelerate the reaction rate and improve the exo/endo ratio of TCPD because the transition state of exo-TCPD has a higher polarity than that of endo-TCPD. The solvent effect follows the order of polarity： benzyl methanol〉cyclohexanone〉toluene. The conversion rises when the temperature ranges from 120 to 150 ℃, but the selectivity of TCPD slightly decreases. Increasing the pressure can improve the conversion but the exo/endo ratio of TCPD is unchanged. The apparent kinetics in different solvents was determined via nonlinear regression. The activation energies are 99.47, 101.15, and 107.32 kJ/mol for benzyl methanol, cyclohexanone, and toluene, respectively. The optimal reaction conditions are as follows： benzyl methanol as solvent, temperature 150 ℃, and pressure 900 kPa. After an 11-hour reaction, a conversion of 58.0%, a TCPD selectivity of 95.7%, and an exo/endo ratio of 1/5.3 has been obtained.     

Reactions of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with singlet oxygen. A theoretical study.

A thorough study of the reaction of singlet oxygen with 1,3-cyclohexadiene has been made at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and CASPT2(12e,10o) levels. The initial addition reaction follows a stepwise diradical pathway to form cyclohexadiene endoperoxide with an activation barrier of 6.5 kcal/mol (standard level = CASPT2(12e,10o)/6-31G(d); geometries and zero-point corrections at B3LYP/6-31G(d)), which is consistent with an experimental value of 5.5 kcal/mol. However, as the enthalpy of the transition structure for the second step is lower than the diradical intermediate, the reaction might also be viewed as a nonsynchronous concerted reaction. In fact, the concertedness of the reaction is temperature dependent since entropy differences create a free energy barrier for the second step of 1.8 kcal/mol at 298 K. There are two ene reactions; one is a concerted mechanism (DeltaH(double dagger) = 8.8 kcal/mol) to 1-hydroperoxy-2,5-cyclohexadiene (5), while the other, which forms 1-hydroperoxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene (18), passes through the same diradical intermediate (9) as found on the pathway to endoperoxide. The major pathway from the endoperoxide is O-O bond cleavage (22.0 kcal/mol barrier) to form a 1,4-diradical (25), which is 13.9 kcal/mol less stable than the endoperoxide. From the diradical, two low-energy pathways exist, one to epoxyketone (29) and the other to the diepoxide (27), where both products are known to be formed experimentally with a product ratio sensitive to the nature of substitutents. A significantly higher activation barrier leads to C-C bond cleavage and direct formation of maleic aldehyde plus ethylene.     

Kinetics study and theoretical modeling of the Diels-Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene and cyclohexadiene with methyl vinyl ketone. The effects of a novel organotungsten catalyst

The Diels-Alder reaction rate constants of methyl vinyl ketone with cyclopentadiene and cyclohexadiene in the presence of a novel organotungsten catalyst, [P(2-py)(3)W(CO)(NO)(2)](2+), have been measured experimentally and modeled theoretically at several temperatures. The uncatalyzed systems were also studied for direct comparison. When 0.0022 M of catalyst is present at room temperature, the rate constants were found to be approximately 5.3 and 5300 times higher than the corresponding uncatalyzed reactions for cyclopentadiene and cyclohexadiene systems, respectively. Experimental data suggested that the catalyst reduced the activation energies by 5-10 kcal/mol. However, the preexponential factors showed reduction of more than 3 orders of magnitude upon catalysis due to the entropic effects. The energy barriers and the rate constants of the uncatalyzed systems were accurately modeled by correlated electronic structure and dual-level variational transition state theory calculation. The calculated endo selectivity is in good agreement with the observed product distribution. Theoretical calculation also suggested the catalyzed reactions proceeded in a highly asynchronous or even stepwise fashion.     

exo-selective asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by diamine salts as organocatalysts

[reaction: see text] A novel binaphthyl-based diamine (R)-2 was designed and synthesized. A protonic acid-(R)-2 salt catalyst has the advantage of exhibiting unprecedented high exo selectivity in the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. For instance, the reaction between cinnamaldehyde and cyclopentadiene in the presence of 12 mol % of binaphthyl-based diamine (R)-2 and 10 mol % of p-TsOH.H(2)O in alpha,alpha,alpha-trifluorotoluene at -20 degrees C gave the corresponding exo cycloadduct with 92% ee as a major diastereomer (exo/endo = 13/1).     

An experimental and theoretical study of stereoselectivity of furan-maleic anhydride and furan-maleimide diels-alder reactions

The stereoselectivity of the reaction of furan (1) with maleic anhydride (2) and maleimide (3) was studied experimentally and theoretically. Although the two reactions are highly similar with regard to their preference for endo and exo steroisomers, notable differences were experimentally observed and explained on the basis of calculated reaction-free energies and transition-state barriers. The experimental values of rate constants (k(1+2endo) = (1.75 +/- 0.48) x 10(-5); mol(-1) l s(-1); k(1+2exo) = (3.10 +/- 0.55) x 10(-5); mol(-1) l s(-1); k(1+3endo) = (1.93 +/- 0.082) x 10(-5); mol(-1) l s(-1), k(1+3exo) = (1.38 +/- 0.055) x 10(-5); mol(-1) l s(-1) all at 300 K) and the observed reaction course clearly confirm that neither of these reactions are prototypical examples of Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloadditions, whose dominant preference is for endo isomers. However, only by comparing their energetics-calculated at the CCSD(T) level of theory-with the analogous reactions involving cyclopentadiene (8) as a diene can these observations be understood. The low thermodynamic stability of furan [4 + 2] adducts opens retro-Diels-Alder reaction channels and overrules the very small kinetic preference (calculated and measured here) of initial formation for endo stereoisomers. On a macroscopic scale "an irregular"-thermodynamically more stable-exo stereoisomer was consequently observed as a dominant species.     

Elimination of methane from protonated acetaldehyde: The Ab initio transition state

The transition state (TS) for loss of CH₄ from protonated acetaldehyde has been located at the second-order Moller-Plesset (MP2)/6-31G(d,p) level of theory. The activation energy is predicted to be 263.9 kJ/mol starting from the more stable form (methyl and hydrogen E) and 261.6 kJ/mol starting from the less stable form (methyl and hydrogen Z) that is required for reaction. The products (methane and the formyl ion) are predicted to lie 136.6 kJ/mol below the TS for their formation. MP2 methods underestimate the heats of formation of both the TS and the reaction products by about 40 kJ/mol when compared with experiment. Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) calculations give much more accurate relative energies. The MP2 TS leads directly to fragmentation and is described as a protonation of the methyl group by the acidic proton on oxygen. Under RHF theory the reaction is stepwise. An RHF TS similar to the MP2 TS leads to a nonclassical intermediate (which is stable at this level of theory) that has one of the C---H bonds protonated. This mechanism (protonation of an alkyl group) appears to be a general one for high energy 1,2 eliminations from organic cations. (J Am Soc Mass Spectrom 1994, 5, 1102-1106)
