The tautomerization and ring closure in the Claisen rearrangement: A DFT study

Elementary processes of the aromatic Claisen rearrangement were investigated by DFT calculations. First, rearrangements of four substrates Ph—O—CH₂—CHCH₂ [A], Ph—O—CH₂—CHCH(OMe) [B], Ph—O—CH₂—CHCH₂····BF₃ [C], and Ph—O—CH—CHCH(OMe)····BF₃ [D] were examined. In these systems, the tautomerization is initiated by the intermolecular proton transfer involving the transient ion‐pair intermediate. An ignition‐propagation chain‐reaction mechanism in the tautomerization was suggested. For [A], the (ortho‐allyl phenol → α‐methyl‐dihydrobenzofuran (α‐methyl‐cumarane)) process was found to be ready and the product of the Claisen rearrangement seems to be the cumarane rather than the phenol. In [D] (activated both by the terminal methoxy group and by the BF₃ catalyst), not the [3,3]‐sigmatropic shift but the tautomerization is the rate determining step. Second, the parent system, Ph—O—CH₂—CHCH₂, was investigated with (H₂O) _n (n = 2, 4, 6, and 10) systematically. The tautomerization takes place by the proton transfer via the water dimer or trimer. Except n = 2, similar changes of Gibbs free energies were obtained from the ether substrate to the cumarane.     

Three-component assembly of 5-halo-1,2,3-triazoles via aerobic oxidative halogenation

An effective synthetic protocol for 5-halo-1,2,3-triazoles was developed by novel TBDMSCl (tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride)-activated aerobic oxidative halogenations in this Letter. TBDMSCl, for the first time, was found to activate aerobic oxidation of CuX to produce X₂ with Cu⁺ which then could effectively promote one-pot syntheses of 5-halo-1,2,3-triazole from alkyne, azide, and CuX (X = I, Br) under O₂ atmosphere at room temperature. The advantages in this method include inexpensive and green O₂ as oxidant, use of mild and non-oxidative additive, and wide scope of substrates.     

A DFT study of proton transfers for the reaction of phenol and hydroxyl radical leading to dihydroxybenzene and H2O in the water cluster

Reactions of phenol and hydroxyl radical were studied under the aqueous environment to investigate the antioxidant characters of phenolic compounds. M06‐2X/6‐311 + G(d,p) calculations were carried out, where proton transfers via water molecules were examined carefully. Stepwise paths from phenol + OH^• + (H₂O)_n (n = 3, 7, and 12) to the phenoxyl radical (Ph O^•) via dihydroxycyclohexadienyl radicals (ipso, ortho, meta, and para OH‐adducts) were obtained. In those paths, the water dimer was computed to participate in the bond interchange along hydrogen bonds. The concerted path corresponding to the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT, apparently Ph OH + OH^• → Ph O^• + H₂O) was found. In the path, the hydroxyl radical located on the ipso carbon undergoes the charge transfer to prompt the proton (not hydrogen) transfer. While the present new mechanism is similar to the sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) one, the former is of the concerted character. Tautomerization reactions of ortho or para (OH)C₆H₅=O + (H₂O)_n → C₆H₄(OH)₂(H₂O)_n were traced with n = 2, 3, 4, and 14. The n = 3 (and n = 14) model of ortho and para was calculated to be most likely by the strain‐less hydrogen‐bond circuit.     

3-羰基吡唑质子转移过程的理论研究

A DFT study of the hydrolysis of hydantoin

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were made on the hydrolysis of hydantoin (2,4-imidazolidinedione). In the neutral hydrolysis, reacting systems composed of hydantoin and (H₂O)_n with n = 1+3, 2+3, 3+3, and 4+3 were adopted. Three water molecules (“+3”) participate in the in-plane hydrogen-bond circuit, and the n–3 = 1, 2, 3 or 4 water cluster works for the out-of-plane nucleophilic attack onto the carbonyl carbon of hydantoin. Transition states (TSs) involving bond interchanges prompted by proton transfers were determined. The reaction path with n = 3+3 containing N-carbamoyl glycine, N-carboxy glycine and three tetrahedral intermediates was found to be most likely. In the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, a reacting system composed of hydantoin and H₃O⁺(H₂O)₇ was employed. Ten TSs and nine intermediates were obtained. N-carbamoyl glycine and N-carboxy glycine were confirmed to be detectable stable species. The product consists of glycine, carbonic acid (not CO₂), NH₄⁺, and (H₂O)₅. It has the exothermic energy, whereas the product in the neutral hydrolysis is of the endothermic one for all n values. For both neutral (n = 3+3) and acid-catalyzed hydrolyses, the rate-determining steps were calculated to be for formation of the tetrahedral intermediate, HOOC-CH₂-NH-C(OH)₂NH₂. The pattern of proton transfers along hydrogen bonds was carefully investigated.     

DFT studies on tautomerism of C5-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles

DFT (B3LYP/6-311++G**, B3PW91/6-311++G**) Gibbs free energy and single point CCSD(T)/6-311++G**//DFT total energy calculations were performed to investigate stability and tautomerism of C5-substituted 1,2,4-triazoles. Three different tautomers are possible for the substituted 1,2,4-triazoles: N1–H, N2–H, and N4–H. Unlike for the 1,2,3-triazoles, where the most stable is the N2–H tautomer regardless of substituent applied, for the 1,2,4-triazoles, the electron donating substituents (–OH, –F, –CN, –NH₂, and –Cl) and the C5-cation stablize the N2–H tautomer, whereas the electron withdrawing substituents (–CONH₂, –COOH, –CHO, –BH₂, and –CFO) and the C5-anion stablize the N1–H tautomer. Except for the C5-anion and C5-cation, the N4–H form is the least stable tautomer. The relative stability of the C5-substituted 1,2,4-triazole tautomers is strongly influenced by attractive and/or repulsive intramolecular interactions between substituent and electron donor or electron acceptor centres of the triazole ring.     

DFT studies on the mechanism of the reaction of C2H5S with NO2

The mechanisms for the reaction of C₂H₅S with NO₂ are investigated at the QCISD(T)/6‐311++G(d, p)//B3LYP/6‐311++G(d, p) level on both single and triple potential energy surfaces. The geometries, vibrational frequencies and zero‐point energy (ZPE) corrections of all stationary points involved in the title reaction are calculated at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(d, p) level. The results show that the reaction is more predominant on the single potential energy surface, while it is negligible on the triple potential energy surface. Without barrier height in the whole process, the major channel is R → C₂H₅SONO (IM1 and IM2) → P1 (C₂H₅SO+NO). With much heat released in the formation of C₂H₅SNO₂ (IM3) and the transition state involved in the subsequent step more stable than reactants, P4 (CH₃CHS + t‐HONO) is subdominant product energetically. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New 1,2,3-Triazoles from (R)-Carvone: Synthesis,DFT Mechanistic Study and In Vitro Cytotoxic Evaluation

Aseries of novel 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized from an (R)-carvone terminal alkyne derivative via a Cu (I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction using CuSO₄,5H₂O as the copper (II) source and sodium ascorbate as a reducing agent which reduces Cu (II) into Cu (I). All the newly synthesized 1,2,3-triazoles 9a–h were fully identified on the basis of their HRMS and NMR spectral data and then evaluated for their cell growth inhibition potential by MTS assay against HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, A-549 lung carcinoma, and two breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) cell lines. Compound 9d showed notable cytotoxic effects against the HT-1080 and MCF-7 cells with IC₅₀ values of 25.77 and 27.89 µM, respectively, while compound 9c displayed significant activity against MCF-7 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 25.03 µM. Density functional calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory were used to confirm the high reactivity of the terminal alkyne as a dipolarophile. Quantum calculations were also used to investigate the mechanism of both the uncatalyzed and copper (I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC). The catalyzed reaction gives complete regioselectivity via a stepwise mechanism streamlining experimental observations. The calculated free-energy barriers 4.33 kcal/mol and 29.35 kcal/mol for the 1,4- and 1,5-regioisomers, respectively, explain the marked regioselectivity of the CuAAC reaction.
