Theoretical studies on the gas-phase pyrolysis of 2-phenoxycarboxylic acids: an ONIOM approach

Various ONIOM combinations-ONIOM(HF/6-31G*: PM3), ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G*: PM3), ONIOM(MP2/6-31G*: PM3), and ONIOM(MP2/6-31G*: HF/3-21G)--were applied to investigate thermal decomposition mechanisms of four 2-phenoxycarboxylic acids (2-phenoxyacetic acid, 2-phenoxypropionic acid, 2-phenoxybutyric acid, and 2-phenoxyisobutyric acid) in the gas phase. All the transition states and intermediates of the reaction paths were optimized. The reaction pathway of four reactants yielding the phenol, CO, and the corresponding carbonyl compound was characterized on the potential energy surface and found to proceed stepwise. The first step corresponds to the elimination of phenol and the formation of alpha-lactone intermediate through a five-membered ring transition state, and the second step is the cycloreversion process of alpha-lactone intermediate to form CO and the corresponding carbonyl compound. The reaction pathway of latter three compounds to produce the carboxylic acid and phenol via a four-membered cyclic transition structure was also examined theoretically. Comparison with experiment indicates that the activation parameters for the fist reaction channel are accurately predicted at the ONIOM(MP2/6-31G*: HF/3-21G) level of theory.     

Inversion versus retention of configuration for nucleophilic substitution at vinylic carbon

A high-level computational study using CCSD, CCSD(T), and G2(+) levels of theory has shown that unactivated vinyl substrates such as vinyl chloride would afford gas phase, single-step halide exchange by a pure in-plane sigma-approach of the nucleophile to the backside of the C--Cl sigma bond. Geometry optimization by CCSD/6-31+G* and CCSD(T)/6-31+G* confirms the earlier findings of Glukhovtsev, Pross, and Radom that the S(N)2 reaction of Cl(-) with unactivated vinyl chloride in the gas phase occurs by a sigma attack. Complexation of vinyl chloride with Na(+) does not alter this in-plane sigma preference. However, moderately activated dihaloethylenes such as 1-chloro-1-fluoroethylene undergo gas-phase S(N)2 attack by the accepted pi-route where the nucleophile approaches perpendicular to the plane of the C==C. In the latter case a single-step pi pathway is preferred for the Cl(-) + H(2)C==CFCl reaction. This is the first definitive example at a high level of theory where a single-step pi nucleophilic vinylic substitution is preferred over a multistep mechanism in the gas phase. The activation barriers for these gas-phase single-step sigma- and pi-processes involving both naked anions and Na(+) complexes are, however, prohibitively high. Solvation and the presence of a counterion must play a dominant role in nucleophilic vinylic substitution reactions that proceed so readily in the condensed phase. In solution, nucleophilic vinylic substitution reactions involving electron-withdrawing groups on the carbon--carbon double bond (e.g., -CN, -CHO, and -NO(2)) would almost certainly proceed via a free discrete carbanionic intermediate in accord with experiment.

Comparative DFT study of the spin trapping of methyl, mercapto, hydroperoxy, superoxide, and nitric oxide radicals by various substituted cyclic nitrones

The thermodynamics of the spin trapping of various cyclic nitrones with biologically relevant radicals such as methyl, mercapto, hydroperoxy, superoxide anion, and nitric oxide was investigated using computational methods. A density functional theory (DFT) approach was employed in this study at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The order of increasing favorability for Delta G(rxn) (kcal/mol) of the radical reaction with various nitrones, in general, follows a trend similar to their respective experimental reduction potentials as well as their experimental second-order rate constants in aqueous solution: NO (14.57) < O2*- (-7.51) < *O2H (-13.92) < *SH (-16.55) < *CH3 (-32.17) < *OH (-43.66). The same qualitative trend is predicted upon considering the effect of solvation using the polarizable continuum model (PCM): i.e., NO (14.12) < O2*- (9.95) < *O2H (-6.95) < *SH (-13.57) < *CH3 (-32.88) < *OH (-38.91). All radical reactions with these nitrones are exoergic, except for NO (and O2*- in the aqueous phase), which is endoergic, and the free energy of activation (Delta G) for the NO additions ranges from 17.7 to 20.3 kcal/mol. This study also predicts the favorable formation of certain adducts that exhibit intramolecular H-bonding interactions, nucleophilic addition, or H-atom transfer reactions. The spin density on the nitronyl N of the superoxide adducts reveals conformational dependences. The failure of nitrones to trap NO at normal conditions was theoretically rationalized due to the endoergic reaction parameters.     

Theoretical study of the energetics of the reactions of triplet dioxygen with hydroquinone, semiquinone, and their protonated forms: relation to the mechanism of superoxide generation in the respiratory chain

One-electron reduction of the dioxygen molecule by the reduced form of mitochondrial ubiquinones (Q) of the NADH dehydrogenase (complex I) and mitochondrial cytochrome bc1 (complex III) is believed to be the main source of the superoxide anion radical O2*- and the hydroperoxide radical OOH*. In this work, we modeled the energetics of four possible reactions of the triplet ((3)Sigma(g)) dioxygen-molecule reduction by fully reduced and protonated ubiquinone (QH2; reaction 1), its deprotonated form (QH-; reaction 2), the semiquinone radical (QH*; reaction 3), and the semiquinone anion radical (Q*-; reaction 4), by means of ab initio calculations with the 6-31G(d) and 6-31+G(d) basis set in the restricted open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF), unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF), and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) with dynamic correlation [at the second-order M?ller-Plesset (MP2) or multiple reference M?ller-Plesset (MRMP), respectively] schemes and the basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction included, as well as semiempirical AM1 and PM3 calculations in the UHF and ROHF schemes. 2-Butene-1,4-dione and p-benzoquinone were selected as model compounds. For the reduced forms of both compounds, reaction 1 turned out to be energetically unfavorable at all levels of theory, this agreeing with the experimentally observed diminished reductive properties of hydroquinone derivatives at low pH. For 2-butene-1,4-dione treated at the most advanced MRMP/CASSCF/6-31+G(d) level, the energies of reactions 1-4 are 4.7, -34.3, -15.0, and -4.1 kcal/mol, respectively. This finding suggests that reactions 2 and 3 are the most likely mechanisms of electron transfer to molecular oxygen in aprotic environments and that proton transfer is involved in this process. Nearly the same energies of reactions 2 and 3 were calculated at the MRMP/CASSCF/6-31+G(d) level for reduced forms of p-benzoquinone. Inclusion of diffuse functions in the basis set and dynamic correlation at the CASSCF level appears essential. Because deprotonated ubiquinol is unlikely to exist in physiological environments, reaction 3 appears to be the most likely mechanism of one-electron reduction of oxygen; however, if oxygen can penetrate cytochrome bc1 as far as the Q(o) center where ubiquinol can be deprotonated, reaction 2 can also come into play. The energies of reactions 2 and 3 calculated at the MRMP/CASSCF/6-31+G(d) level are most closely reproduced in the ab initio and semiempirical UHF PM3 calculations. Additional semiempirical calculations on more realistic models of ubiquinone, 2,3-dimethoxy-6-methyl-p-benzoquinone and 2,3-dimethoxy-5-isoprenyl-6-methyl-p-benzoquinone, gave qualitatively the same relations between the energies of reactions 2 and 3 as those carried out for p-benzoquinone species, thereby suggesting that this method could be used in studying electron-transfer reactions from reduced quinone derivatives to molecular oxygen in more complex systems, such as a model of the Q(o) site of cytochrome bc1, where applying ab initio methods is unfeasible.     

Uncatalyzed transfer hydrogenation of quinones and related systems: a theoretical mechanistic study

Quantum chemistry calculations have been used to study the uncatalyzed transfer hydrogenation between a range of hydrogen donors and acceptors, in the gas phase and in solution. Our study shows in the first place that in order to obtain reliable condensed-phase transition structures, it is necessary to perform geometry optimization in the presence of a continuum. In addition, the use of a free energy of solvation obtained with the UB3-LYP/6-31+G(d,p)/IEF-PCM/UA0 combination, in conjunction with UMPWB1K/6-311+G(3df,2p)//B3-LYP/6-31+G(d,p) gas-phase energies, gives the best agreement with experimental barriers. In condensed phases, the geometries and energies of the transition structures are found to relate to one another in a manner consistent with the Hammond postulate. There is also a correlation between the barriers and the energies of the radical intermediates in accord with the Bell-Evans-Polanyi principle. We find that in the gas phase, all the transfer-hydrogenation reactions examined proceed via a radical pathway. In condensed phases, some of the reactions follow a radical mechanism regardless of the solvent. However, for some reactions there is a change from a radical mechanism to an ionic mechanism as the solvent becomes more polar. Our calculations indicate that the detection of radical adducts by EPR does not necessarily indicate a predominant radical mechanism, because of the possibility of a concurrent ionic reaction. We also find that the transition structures for these reactions do not necessarily have a strong resemblance to the intermediates, and therefore one should be cautious in utilizing the influence of polar effects on the rate of reaction as a means of determining the mechanism.

Kinetics of the multichannel reaction of methanethiyl radical (CH3S*) with 3O2

The CH3S* + O2 reaction system is considered an important process in atmospheric chemistry and in combustion as a pathway for the exothermic conversion of methane-thiyl radical, CH3S*. Several density functional and ab initio computational methods are used in this study to determine thermochemical parameters, reaction paths, and kinetic barriers in the CH3S* + O2 reaction system. The data are also used to evaluate feasibility of the DFT methods for higher molecular weight oxy-sulfur hydrocarbons, where sulfur presents added complexity from its many valence states. The methods include: B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p), CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p)//MP2/6-31G(d,p), B3P86/6-311G(2d,2p)//B3P86/6-31G(d), B3PW91/6-311++G(3df,2p), G3MP2, and CBS-QB3. The well depth for the CH3S* + 3O2 reaction to the syn-CH3SOO* adduct is found to be 9.7 kcal/mol. Low barrier exit channels from the syn-CH3SOO* adduct include: CH2S + HO2, (TS6, E(a) is 12.5 kcal/mol), CH3 + SO2 via CH3SO2 (TS2', E(a) is 17.8) and CH3SO + O (TS17, E(a) is 24.7) where the activation energy is relative to the syn-CH3SOO* stabilized adduct. The transition state (TS5) for formation of the CH3SOO adduct from CH3S* + O2 and the reverse dissociation of CH3SOO to CH3S* + O2 is relatively tight compared to typical association and simple bond dissociation reactions; this is a result of the very weak interaction. Reverse reaction is the dominant dissociation path due to enthalpy and entropy considerations. The rate constants from the chemical activation reaction and from the stabilized adduct to these products are estimated as functions of temperature and pressure. Our forward rate constant and CH3S loss profile are in agreement with the experiments under similar conditions. Of the methods above, the G3MP2 and CBS-QB3 composite methods are recommended for thermochemical determinations on these carbon-sulfur-oxygen systems, when they are feasible.
