A Curtin–Hammett pentamethylene chain symmetrization process in the Bergman cyclization of an 11‐membered ring enediyne

Pentamethylene chain conformational effects for the Bergman cyclization of the 11‐membered ring enediyne, (3Z)‐3‐cycloundecene‐1,5‐diyne, 2, are examined theoretically with unrestricted Becke, three‐parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr/6‐31 G(d,p) calculations. A C₁ symmetric enediyne conformation was found to be the global minimum, where its nonsymmetric pentamethylene chain prevented π‐orbital alignment of the acetylene groups for C–C σ bond product formation. The Bergman cyclization of 2 was found to be conformationally dependent. In a Curtin–Hammett type process, the C₁ symmetric 2 inverts to one of the C_S or C₂ symmetric conformers required for the Bergman cyclization, which produced a C_S or C₂ symmetric 1,4‐diradical intermediate. The activation energy for the cyclization is slightly higher to reach the C₂ symmetry diradical compared with the C_S symmetry diradical. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Electrochemical Characterization and Voltammetric Determination of Benzoyl Derivatives of Phenobarbital Using Glassy Carbon Electrode

The electrochemical behavior of a number of benzoyl barbiturates was studied using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The kinetics of the electrode process is determined, the contribution of physical adsorption to the electrochemical process is estimated, and the mechanism of the possible electrochemical reaction is proposed. It is shown that the electrochemical reduction potentials of benzoyl phenobarbital derivatives are determined by the LUMO energies, calculated by the B3LYP 6‐311+G method. It is established that the process is quasi‐reversible, complicated by adverse reactions. The influence of halogen type and its position in the benzoyl residue of the studied substances on the analytical signal is established. The effective values of the dissociation constants of various forms of benzoyl derivatives were calculated using the example of halonal, for which the values 3.16 ? 10^?8 and 6.31 ? 10^?12, respectively, were found.     

Peculiar Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Porphyrin–Fullerene Akamptisomers

Porphyrin–fullerene dyads are promising candidates for organic photovoltaic devices. The electron-transfer (ET) properties of the molecular devices depend significantly on the mutual position of the donor and acceptor. Recently, a new type of molecular isomerism (akamptisomerism) has been discovered. In the present study, we explore how photoinduced ET can be modulated by passing from one akamptisomer to another. To this aim, four akamptisomers of the quinoxalinoporphyrin–[60]fullerene complex are selected for computational study. The most striking finding is that, depending on the isomer, the porphyrin unit in the dyad can act as either electron donor or electron acceptor. Thus, the stereoisomeric diversity allows one to change the direction of ET between the porphyrin and fullerene moieties. To understand the effect of akamptisomerism on the photoinduced ET processes, a detailed analysis of initial and final states involved in the ET is performed. The computed rate for charge separation is estimated to be in the region of 1–10 ns⁻¹. The formation of a long-living quinoxalinoporphyrin anion radical species is predicted.
