The theoretic study of reaction between BrONO2 and O(3P) is reported by using the molecular orbital ab initio and density function theory (DFT). Equilibrium structural parameters, harmonic vibrational frequencies, total energy and zero energy of reactants, transition states, inter mediates and products during reactions are computed by B3LYP theory level with the basis set 6-311+G(d,p).

Density functional theory study of mechanism of epoxy‐carboxylic acid curing reaction

A comprehensive picture on the mechanism of the epoxy‐carboxylic acid curing reactions is presented using the density functional theory B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) and simplified physical molecular models to examine all possible reaction pathways. Carboxylic acid can act as its own promoter by using the OH group of an additional acid molecule to stabilize the transition states, and thus lower the rate‐limiting barriers by 45 kJ/mol. For comparison, in the uncatalyzed reaction, an epoxy ring is opened by a phenol with an apparent barrier of about 107 kJ/mol. In catalyzed reaction, catalysts facilitate the epoxy ring opening prior to curing that lowers the apparent barriers by 35 kJ/mol. However, this can be competed in highly basic catalysts such as amine‐based catalysts, where catalysts can enhance the nucleophilicity of the acid by forming hydrogen‐bonded complex with it. Our theoretical results predict the activation energy in the range of 71 to 94 kJ/mol, which agrees well with the reported experimental range for catalyzed reactions. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Density functional theory study of the mechanism of the proline-catalyzed intermolecular aldol reaction

Transition structures associated with the C-C bond-formation step of the proline-catalyzed intermolecular aldol reaction between acetone and isobutyraldehyde have been studies using density functional theory methods at the B3LYP/6-31G** computational level. A continuum model has been selected to represent solvent effects. For this step, which is the stereocontrolling and rate-determining step, four reactive channels corresponding to the syn and anti arrangement of the active methylene of the enamine relative to the carboxylic acid group of l-proline and the re and si attack modes to both faces of the aldehyde carbonyl group have been analyzed. The B3LYP/6-31G** energies are in good agreement with experiment, allowing us to explain the origin of the catalysis and stereoselectivity for these proline-catalyzed aldol reactions.

Density functional study on the reaction mechanism of palladium-catalyzed addition of cyanoboranes to alkynes

The B3LYP hybrid density functional method has been carried out to study theoretically the mechanism of Pd(0)-catalyzed alkyne cyanoboration reaction. Both the intermolecular and intramolecular alkyne cyanoboration reactions were studied. For each reaction, three paths were proposed. In path A of each reaction, the first step is B-CN bond oxidative addition to bisphosphine complex Pd(PH(3))(2), in path B of each reaction, the first step is alkyne coordination to bisphosphine complex Pd(PH(3))(2), and in path C of each reaction, the first step is the PH(3) dissociation from Pd(PH(3))(2) to form monophosphine complex Pd(PH(3)). For both reactions, path B is favored. The dissociation and recoordination of phosphine ligand are found to be very important for the entire reaction, in agreement with the experiment. In both intermolecular and intramolecular cyanoboration reactions, cyano migration is preferred to take place compared with alkenylboryl migration for the formation of the final cis products. The rate-determining step for both intermolecular and intramolecular cyanoboration reactions is found to be the insertion of carbon-carbon triple bond into Pd-B bond with the activation energy of 38.4 and 34.3 kcal/mol relative to the initial reactants, respectively. These values suggest that intramolecular reaction is relatively easy to occur.     

Quantum chemistry study on the mechanism of the reaction between ozone and 2,3,7,8‐TCDD

Despite of its fundamental importance, the mechanism of the reaction between ozone and dioxins are still lack detailed investigation so far. It is well-known that quantum chemical calculation is a well-established method for investigating chemical reactions. In this article, quantum chemical calculation was employed to investigate the mechanism of the reaction between ozone and dioxins, as exemplified by 2,3,7,8-TCDD. The theoretical study showed that, 2,3,7,8-TCDD was gradually destructed by ozone via six cleavages of the CC bonds. All the six cleavages of the CC bonds were calculated and discussed in detail based on the theoretical calculations by the UB3LYP/6-31G(d) method. At the same time, the energies of stationary points along the reaction process were calculated by the UMP2/6-311g(d,p)//UB3LYP/6-31G(d) method and the activation energy was obtained. The obtained activation energy was 12.25 kcal/mol, which was lower than that of the reaction between benzene and O₃(16.64 kcal/mol). This indicated that, by comparison with benzene, 2,3,7,8-TCDD could be more efficiently destructed by O₃. The reason for this result was also discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Insight into the reaction mechanism of CH2SH with HO2: A density functional theory study

Density functional theory was adopted in this work to reveal the reaction mechanism of CH₂SH with HO₂. Reaction rate constants were computed from 200 to 2000 K using the transition state theory combined with Wigner and Eckart tunneling correction. Moreover, localized orbital locator, atoms in molecules and Mayer bond order analyses were used to study the essence of chemical bonding evolution. Eleven singlet paths and three triplet ones are located on the potential surface (PES). The results show that the main products on the singlet PES are ¹CH₂S and H₂O₂, whereas on the triplet PES they are CH₃SH + ³O₂, which are coincident with the similar reaction of CH₃S and HO₂. This conclusion is also supported by rate constant calculation results. Interestingly, all the possible paths are involved in the hydrogen transfer. The results have provided underlying insights to the analogous reactions and further experimental studies.     

Density functional theory study on mechanisms of epoxy‐phenol curing reaction

A comprehensive picture on the mechanism of the epoxy‐phenol curing reactions is presented using the density functional theory B3LYP/ 6‐31G(d,p) and simplified physical molecular models to examine all possible reaction pathways. Phenol can act as its own promoter by using an addition phenol molecule to stabilize the transition states, and thus lower the rate‐limiting barriers by 27.0–48.9 kJ/mol. In the uncatalyzed reaction, an epoxy ring is opened by a phenol with an apparent barrier of about 129.6 kJ/mol. In catalyzed reaction, catalysts facilitate the epoxy ring opening prior to curing that lowers the apparent barriers by 48.9–50.6 kJ/mol. However, this can be competed in highly basic catalysts such as amine‐based catalysts, where catalysts are trapped in forms of hydrogen‐bonded complex with phenol. Our theoretical results predict the activation energy in the range of 79.0–80.7 kJ/mol in phosphine‐based catalyzed reactions, which agrees well with the reported experimental range of 54–86 kJ/mol. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the possible reaction pathway for the acylation of AChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of ACh: Semiempirical quantum chemical study

The acylation process in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-catalyzed hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh), has been determined with the semiempirical quantum chemical calculation method AM1 using the model molecules extracted from the X-ray crystal structure of Torpedo Californica AChE. For the sake of identifying the microfeatures of the mechanism of this reaction, two types of possible mechanisms, stepwise mechanism and cooperative mechanisms, were proposed and studied with AM1 methods. All the model molecules for the possible reactants, intermediates, transition states, and products in the reaction pathways of the two mechanisms were obtained. Energy profiles, the structural properties of the transition states, indicate that the acylation of AChE-catalyzed hydrolysis of ACh adopts the cooperative mechanism, i.e., the proton transfer from Ser220 of AChE to His440 occurs simultaneously with the nucleophilic attack of Ser200 to the carbonyl carbon atom of ACh. This result is in agreement with the kinetic data and the secondary isotope effects of AChE-catalyzed reactions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 70: 515–525, 1998     

Potential energy surface of the reaction of imidazole with peroxynitrite: Density functional theory study

This article presents a theoretical investigation of the reaction mechanism of imidazole nitration by peroxynitrite using density functional theory calculations. Understanding this reaction mechanism will help in elucidating the mechanism of guanine nitration by peroxynitrite, which is one of the assumed chemical pathways for damaging DNA in cells. This work focuses on the analysis of the potential energy surface (PES) for this reaction in the gas phase. Calculations were carried out using Hartree–Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) Hamiltonians with double‐zeta basis sets ranging from 6‐31G(d) to 6‐31++G(d,p), and the triple‐zeta basis set 6‐311G(d). The computational results reveal that the reaction of imidazole with peroxynitrite in gas phase produces the following species: (i) hydroxide ion and 2‐nitroimidazole, (ii) hydrogen superoxide ion and 2‐nitrosoimidazole, and (iii) water and 2‐nitroimidazolide. The rate‐determining step is the formation of a short‐lived intermediate in which the imidazole C₂ carbon is covalently bonded to peroxynitrite nitrogen. Three short‐lived intermediates were found in the reaction path. These intermediates are involved in a proton‐hopping transport from C₂ carbon to the terminal oxygen of the ? O? O moiety of peroxynitrite via the nitroso (ON? ) oxygen. Both HF and DFT calculations (using the Becke3–Lee–Yang–Parr functional) lead to similar reaction paths for proton transport, but the landscape details of the PES for HF and DFT calculations differ. This investigation shows that the reaction of imidazole with peroxynitrite produces essentially the same types of products (nitro‐ and nitroso‐) as observed experimentally in the reaction of guanine with peroxynitrite, which makes the former reaction a good model to study by computation the essential characteristics of the latter reaction. Nevertheless, the computationally determined activation energy for imidazole nitration by peroxynitrite in the gas phase is 84.1 kcal/mol (calculated at the B3LYP/6‐31++G(d,p) level), too large for an enzymatic reaction. Exploratory calculations on imidazole nitration in solution, and on the reaction of 9‐methylguanine with peroxynitrite in the gas phase and solution, show that solvation increases the activation energy for both imidazole and guanine, and that the modest decrease (15 kcal mol^?1) in the activation energy, due to the adjacent six member ring of guanine, is counterbalanced by solvation. These results lead to the speculation that proton tunneling may be at the origin of experimentally observed high reaction rate of guanine nitration by peroxynitrite in solution. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
