Computational Study on the Hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions between Phosphonodithioformate and Butadienes

The mechanism, catalytic effect and substituent effect of the hetero-Diels-Alder reactions between phosphonodithioformate and butadienes have been investigated theoretically using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G（d） level. The results show that all of these reactions proceed in a concerted but asynchronous way. In some reactions the formation of C-S bond is prior to that of C-C and opposite result is found in other reactions. The BF3 catalyst and trimethylsilyloxy group may lower the activation barriers by changing the energies of FMOs for reactant molecules. With the BF3-catalyzed reactions, the complete regioselectivity observed experimentally has well been reproduced by theoretical calculation and these results originate probably from blue-shifting C-H...F hydrogen bond interaction in some transition states.

How and Why Does Ni0 Promote Smooth Etheric CO Bond Cleavage and CC Bond Formation? A Theoretical Study

Ni‐catalyzed cross‐coupling between aryl alkyl ethers (ArOR) and Grignard reagents (RMgBr), known since 1979, proceeds under mild conditions in many cases. Although the reaction routes of various synthetic protocols involving transition‐metal‐catalyzed C?O bond activation have been elucidated, the mechanism of this etheric Kumada–Tamao–Curriu reaction remains enigmatic. This is because oxidative addition of inert etheric C?O to Ni⁰ is thermodynamically and kinetically unfavorable, making it hard to explain the observed high reactivity of ether toward Ni catalysts. In this work, we used DFT calculations to identify a plausible reaction pathway by the Ni⁰‐ate complex, which enables smooth C?O bond cleavage and R‐group transfer with reasonable activation barriers; this mechanism also accounts for the ineffectiveness of Pd catalysts. These results throw new light on both C?O activation and cross‐coupling, and should be valuable for further rational development of the methodologies.     

Methane Activation by Diatomic Molybdenum Carbide Cations

Metal carbide species have been proposed as a new type of chemical entity to activate methane in both gas‐phase and condensed‐phase studies. Herein, methane activation by the diatomic cation MoC⁺ is presented. MoC⁺ ions have been prepared and mass‐selected by a quadrupole mass filter and then allowed to interact with methane in a hexapole reaction cell. The reactant and product ions have been detected by a reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer. Bare metal Mo⁺ and MoC₂H₂⁺ ions have been observed as products, suggesting the occurrence of ethylene elimination and dehydrogenation reactions. The branching ratio of the C₂H₄ elimination channel is much larger than that of the dehydrogenation channel. Density functional theory calculations have been performed to explore in detail the mechanism of the reaction of MoC⁺ with CH₄. The computed results indicate that the ethylene elimination process involves the occurrence of spin conversions in the C?C coupling (doublet→quartet) and hydrogen atom transfer (quartet→sextet) steps. The carbon atom in MoC⁺ plays a key role in methane activation because it becomes sp³ hybridized in the initial stages of the ethylene elimination reaction, which leads to much lower energy barriers and more stable intermediates. This study provides insights into the C?H bond activation and C?C coupling involved in methane transformation over molybdenum carbide‐based catalysts.     

Reaction mechanism of methanol decomposition on Pt‐based model catalysts: A theoretical study

The decomposition mechanisms of methanol on five different Pt surfaces, the flat surface of Pt(111), Pt‐defect, Pt‐step, Pt(110)(1 × 1), and Pt(110)(2 × 1), have been studied with the DFT‐GGA method using the repeated slab model. The adsorption energies under the most stable configuration of the possible species and the activation energy barriers of the possible elementary reactions involved are obtained in this work. Through systematic calculations for the reaction mechanism of methanol decomposition on these surfaces, we found that such a reaction shows the same reaction mechanism on these Pt‐based model catalysts, that is, the final products are all H (H_ads) and CO (CO_ads) via O? H bond breaking in methanol and C? H bond scission in methoxy. These results are in general agreement with the previous experimental observations. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

C(sp3)H Activation without a Directing Group: Regioselective Synthesis of N‐Ylide or N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes Controlled by the Choice of Metal and Ligand

N‐Ylide complexes of Ir have been generated by C(sp³)?H activation of α‐pyridinium or α‐imidazolium esters in reactions with [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ and NaOAc. These reactions are rare examples of C(sp³)?H activation without a covalent directing group, which—even more unusually—occur α to a carbonyl group. For the reaction of the α‐imidazolium ester [ 3 H]Cl, the site selectivity of C?H activation could be controlled by the choice of metal and ligand: with [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ and NaOAc, C(sp³)?H activation gave the N‐ylide complex 4 ; in contrast, with Ag₂O followed by [Cp*IrCl₂]₂, C(sp²)?H activation gave the N‐heterocyclic carbene complex 5 . DFT calculations revealed that the N‐ylide complex 4 was the kinetic product of an ambiphilic C?H activation. Examination of the computed transition state for the reaction to give 4 indicated that unlike in related reactions, the acetate ligand appears to play the dominant role in C?H bond cleavage.     

Reaction Mechanism of the Hydrogermylation/Hydrostannylation of Unactivated Alkenes with Two‐Coordinate EII Hydrides (E=Ge,Sn): A Theoretical Study

Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory with the TPSS+D3(BJ) and M06‐2X+D3(ABC) functionals have been carried out to understand the mechanisms of catalyst‐free hydrogermylation/hydrostannylation reactions between the two‐coordinate hydrido‐tetrylenes :E(H)(L⁺) (E=Ge or Sn, L⁺=N(Ar⁺)(SiiPr₃); Ar⁺=C₆H₂{C(H)Ph₂}₂iPr‐2,6,4) and a range of unactivated terminal (C₂H₃R, R=H, Ph, or tBu) and cyclic [(CH)₂(CH₂)₂(CH₂)_n, n=1, 2, or 4] alkenes. The calculations suggest that the addition reactions of the germylenes and stannylenes to the cyclic and acyclic alkenes occur as one‐step processes through formal [2+2] addition of the E?H fragment across the C?C π bond. The reactions have moderate barriers and are weakly exergonic. The steric bulk of the tetrylene amido groups has little influence on the activation barriers and on the reaction energies of the anti‐Markovnikov pathway, but the Markovnikov addition is clearly disfavored by the size of the substituents. The addition of the tetrylenes to the cyclic alkenes is less exergonic than the addition to the terminal alkenes, which agrees with the experimentally observed reversibility of the former reactions. The hydrogermylation reactions have lower activation energies and are more exergonic than the stannylene addition. An energy decomposition analysis of the transition state for the hydrogermylation of cyclohexene shows that the reaction takes place with simultaneous formation of the Ge?C and (Ge)H?C′ bonds. The dominant orbitals of the germylene are the σ‐type lone pair MO of Ge, which serves as a donor orbital, and the vacant p(π) MO of Ge, which acts as acceptor orbital for the π* and π MOs of the olefin. Inspection of the transition states of some selected reactions suggests that the differences between the activation energies come from a delicate balance between the deformation energies of the interacting species and their interaction energies.

Hydride Ligands Make the Difference: Density Functional Study of the Mechanism of the Murai Reaction Catalyzed by [Ru(H)2(H2)2(PR3)2] (R=cyclohexyl)

The catalytic cycle for the Murai reaction at room temperature between ethylene and acetophenone catalyzed by [Ru(H)₂(H₂)₂(PMe₃)₂] has been studied computationally at the B3PW91 level. The active species is the ruthenium dihydride complex [Ru(H)₂(PMe₃)₂]. Coordination of the ketone group to Ru induces very easy C H bond cleavage. Coordination of ethylene after ketone de-coordination, followed by ethylene insertion into a Ru H bond, creates the Ru ethyl bond. Isomerization of the complex to a Ru^IV intermediate creates the geometry adapted to C C bond formation. Re-coordination of the ketone before the C C coupling lowers the energy of the corresponding TS. The highest point on the potential energy surface (PES) is the TS for the isomerization to the Ru^IV intermediate, which prepares the catalyst geometry for the C C coupling step. Inclusion of dispersion corrections significantly lowers the height of the overall activation barrier. The actual bond cleavage and bond forming processes are associated to low activation barriers because of the presence of hydrogen atoms around the Ru center. They act as redox buffers through formation and breaking of H H bonds in the coordination sphere. This flexibility allows optimal repartition of the various ligands according to the change in stereoelectronic demands along the catalytic cycle.
