烷基咪唑型卤盐类离子液体的合成机理研究

用密度泛函理论考察了甲基咪唑和一系列的卤代烷烃(氯乙烷,氯丁烷,溴乙烷,溴丁烷)反应合成咪唑类离子液体的反应机理. 在B3LYP/6-31++G**//B3LYP/6-31G*基组水平上找到了两条反应路径：路径A(反应物→TS1→P1)和路径B(反应物→TS2→P2). 在路径A中, 卤素离子和咪唑环C2上的氢质子形成氢键；在路径B中, 卤素离子和咪唑环C5上的氢质子形成氢键. 计算发现, 氢键的形成在反应中起到了非常重要的作用, 特别是咪唑环C2上的氢质子在和卤素离子成氢键后形成了一个五员环结构的过渡态, 该过渡态能量较低. 经过渡态TS1的反应途径其活化能要低于经过渡态TS2的反应途径, 反应路径A为主要的反应通道. 计算结果表明, 经过渡态TS1的反应途径是一放热过程, 这和实验观察现象一致.

锰氧咔咯催化环己烷生成己二醛催化机理的理论研究

通过密度泛函理论计算,研究锰氧咔咯催化环己烷氧化成己二醛的反应,讨论该催化过程的多态反应活性.计算表明,该反应经历两步羟基化和一步C—C键断裂过程.两步羟基化都是由氢转移开始,形成碳自由基中间体,接着迅速发生的自由基反应形成二醇的中间体.C—C键断裂过程由氢转移开始,先形成氧自由基中间体,氧自由基单电子和邻近环C—C键存在强烈的相互作用,导致该C—C键活化断裂和第二个氢的协同转移.反应的速控步是第二步羟基化过程,因此碳自由基中间体的稳定性决定该反应的难易,这也解释了实验上观察到叔碳的活性大于仲碳的活性顺序.     

亚甲基环丙烷卡宾的开环与1,2-氢迁移的从头算研究

用从头计算-解析梯度法研究了亚甲基环丙烷卡宾的重排反应。开环重排经Hückel型过渡态,在过渡态前后分别属2电子和4电子反应,取对旋和顺旋方式,遵从4n+2和4n规则。1,2氢重排经迁移氢进攻卡宾碳的空p轨道发生。用RHF/6-31-G^**∥STO-3G方法算得开环势垒为24kJ/mol。1,2氢重排不是开环的竞争反应,其势垒为118kJ/mol。与环丙烷卡宾比较,亚甲基取代未改变其开环反应的类型与机理,但增大开环反应活性。

NBO and NICS analysis of the allylic rearrangements (the Cope and 3-aza-Cope rearrangements) of hexa-1,5-diene and N-vinylprop-2-en-1-amine: A DFT study

In this work, ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on the 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangements of hexa-1,5-diene (Cope) and N-vinylprop-2-en-1-amine (3-aza-Cope) in the gas phase. The barrier heights and heats of reactions calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G** level of theory were in good agreement with experimental data. Transition states optimized with B3LYP/6-311G** theory were used for calculating the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) and, a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was also performed at the same level of theory. Our results indicate that the aromaticities of the transition states are controlled by the out-of-plane component and that the chair-like transition state of the Cope rearrangement exhibits the strongest aromatic character. Analysis of donor-acceptor (bonding and anti-bonding) interactions of σ_3–4 → π*_1–2 suggests that the TS structure in the hexa-1,5-diene reaction (the Cope rearrangement) has more aromatic character than the N-vinylprop-2-en-1-amine reaction (the 3-aza-Cope rearrangement). The NBO results show that in the hexa-1,5-diene and N-vinylprop-2-en-1-amine rearrangements, activation energies are controlled by σ_3–4 → π*_1–2 and σ_3–4 → π*_1–2 resonance energies.

Isomers and [2,3]-Sila-wittig Rearrangement of [（Allyloxy）silyl]lithium Silylenoid in the Gas Phase and THF Solvent

Theoretical calculations of the [2,3]-sila-wittig rearrangement of isomers of [（allyloxy）silyl]lithium （C3H5O）HzSiLi have been performed in the gas phase and THF solvent using the G3MP2B3 method. Seven isomers of silylenoid （C3H5O）H2SiLi, 1-7, are found. The [2,3]-silawittig rearrangement paths are followed using two isomers, 2 and 4, to yield the transition states as well as the products. In the transition state, the silicon center functions as a nucleophile and the aUyl as an electrophile. The interaction between the silicon and allylic sites leads to the formation of SiC（3） bond and the break of O-C（1） bond. Finally, the （allylsilyl）oxylithium （C3H5）H2SiOLi is obtained. The rearrangement paths are confirmed by the intrinsic reaction coordinate （IRC） calculations. The rearrangement mechanisms of reactions of 2 and 4 are similar, and the latter reaction is more favored in the gas phase and THF solvent. Also, the solvent effects are analyzed in this work.     

Solvent-dependent stereoselectivity in a Still-Wittig rearrangement: an experimental and ab initio study

[see reaction]. The Still-Wittig rearrangement gave opposite selectivities for (Z:E)-alkenes in THF (3:1) vs toluene (1:3) in the synthesis of serine-proline dipeptide amide isosteres. Four transition states leading to (Z)-and (E)-alkenes with THF and without (representing toluene) were identified by ab initio calculations at the 3-21G* level. The calculated (Z:E)-ratios with THF (4.7:1) and without THF (1:3.2) suggested that the transition state geometries and energies were well-represented by the calculations.     

DFT法研究3-羟基丙烯醛的双键旋转异构反应机理

A quantum chemical investigation of pyrolysis reactions of glyoxylic acid ethylester

Two possible reaction paths for the pyrolysis of the ethylester of glyoxylic acid have been studied by ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The basis sets 3-21G and 6-31G * have been used, and electron correlation has been included by Møller–Plesset calculations up to fourth order. Our calculations indicate that the reaction leading to acid and ethylene through a 6-membered ring transition state is favored relative to a process involving a formyl hydrogen transfer via a 5-membered ring to the alkyl unit leading to ethane, CO, and CO₂. The predicted activation energies for these two reactions obtained at the highest level of calculation, MP 4(SDTQ )/6–31G *, are 50.4 and 71.7 kcal/mol, respectively. The transition states have RHF wave functions that are stable relative to UHF solutions using the 3–21G basis. The geometry of the transition states and IRC following indicate that both reactions are strongly asynchronous: The C? O bond rupture is virtually completed before hydrogen transfer occurs. For comparative purposes, analogous calculations have been performed for the ethylester of formic acid, where it is confirmed that a 6-membered ring transition state is preferred relative to a 4-membered one by around 42 kcal/mol at the highest level of calculation.     

Ab initio and microcalorimetric investigations of alkene adsorption on phosphotungstic acid

The adsorption of ethene, propene, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and isobutene on phosphotungstic acid has been characterized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and microcalorimetric experiments. The DFT-calculated chemisorption energies to form the corresponding alkoxides for ethene, propene, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and isobutene were -86.8, -90.3, -102.6, -79.9, and -91.4 kJ mol(-1), respectively (for their most-favorable binding modes). The relative chemisorption energies to form the alkoxides are dictated by the strength of interaction of the acidic proton with the carbon atom of the double bond that becomes protonated. The activation barrier for chemisorption was greatest for alkenes with primary (1 degrees) carbenium-like transition states followed by secondary (2 degrees) and tertiary (3 degrees) transition states. The adsorption enthalpy established from microcalorimetric experiments with propene and isobutene was approximately -100 kJ mol(-1), which is close to the DFT-calculated values. Chemisorption of ethene on phosphotungstic acid during microcalorimetric experiments was minimal, presumably because of the large activation barrier associated with a 1 degrees carbenium-like transition state. The results from this study are compared with those in the literature for the adsorption of alkenes on zeolites, which have a similar adsorption mechanism. Our results suggest that alkene adsorption is stronger on phosphotungstic acid than on zeolites, as supported by the more exothermic chemisorption energies. Additionally, activation barriers for alkene adsorption are lower over phosphotungstic acid than over zeolites.     

Addition reactions of alkyl and carboxyl radicals to vinylidene fluoride

The addition reactions of alkyl radicals CF3* and CH3* and carboxyl radicals C2H5O*, C2H5OCOO*, CF3COO*, and CH3COO* to a vinylidene fluoride (VDF) molecule are studied using ab initio calculations. These radicals were selected because they are intermediate or final products of diacyl peroxides decomposition in the initiation reactions of VDF polymerization. Two combinations of methods for energetics and structure optimization are applied: QCISD/6-311G(d,p)//HF/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311G+(3df, 2p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d). It is found that the formed bond length of the product, the forming bond length of the transition state, and the attack angle of the product structures are not sensitive to the level of theory even though the attack angle of the transition state structures is. Early transition states are obtained upon attack at both high-substituted and nonsubstituted carbon atom VDF ends. Kinetic and thermodynamic control rules play different roles on governing the reactivity of the addition with the studied radicals. Both theoretical methods yield the same trends for the preferential attack site in terms of regioselectivity, barrier energies, and reaction enthalpies. It is shown that the addition reactions of the intermediate radicals C2H5OCOO*, CF3COO*, and CH3COO* of the decomposition of diethyl peroxydicarbonate, trifluoroacetyl peroxide, and diacetyl peroxide initiators yield smaller energy barriers than the additions of the corresponding final radicals, C2H5O*, CF3*, and CH3*; therefore, the reactions of the intermediate radicals should not be ignored when analyzing the initiation process of the VDF polymerization using those initiators.     

DFT Calculations of the Elimination Kinetics of Silacyclobutanes and its Methyl Derivatives in the Gas-Phase

Abstract

The gas-phase thermal decomposition kinetics of silacyclobutane (1), 1-methyl- silacyclobutane (2), and 1,1-dimethyl-1-silacyclobutane (3) has been theoretically studied at the B3LYP/6-311G**, B3PW91/6-311G**, and MPW1PW91/6-311G** levels. The B3LYP/6-311G** method was found to give a reasonable good agreement with the experimental kinetics and thermodynamic parameters. The decomposition reaction of compounds 1–3 yields ethylene and the corresponding silene. Based on the optimized ground state geometries using B3LYP/6-311G** method, the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of donor-acceptor (bonding–antibonding) interactions revealed that the perturbation energies (E₂) associated with the electronic delocalization from σ_Si1–C2 to σ*_C4–Si1 orbitals increase from compounds 1 to 3. The σ_Si1–C2→σ*_C4–Si1 resonance energies for compounds 1–3 are 1.17, 1.26, and 1.43 kcal/mol, respectively. Also, the decomposition process in these compounds is controlled by σ→σ* resonance energies. Moreover, the obtained order of energy barriers could be explained by the number of electron-releasing methyl groups substituted to the Si_sp2 atom. NBO analysis shows that the occupancies of σ_Si1–C2 bonds decrease for compounds 1–3 as 3 < 2 < 1, and the occupancies of σ*_Si1–C2 bonds increase in the opposite order (3 > 2 > 1). Moreover, these results can fairly explain the decrease of the energy barriers (ΔE_o) of the decomposition reaction of compounds 1 to 3. The calculated data demonstrate that in the decomposition process of the studied compounds, the polarization of the C₃–C₄ bond is the rate determining factor. Analysis of bond orders, NBO charges, bond indexes, synchronicity parameters, and IRC calculations indicate that these reactions are occurring through a concerted and asynchronous four-membered cyclic transition state type of mechanism.
