The Baeyer-Villiger reaction of polymethoxybenzaldehydes with peroxysuccinic acid (PSA) is studied theoretically. The semi-empirical SCF-MO/PM3 method has been used to study the reaction and to calculate the energy profiles. In addition, heat of formation computations and bond order analyses of the transition species along the reaction coordinates have been performed and are interpreted qualitatively in terms of electron flow through the system during aryl migration. Our results support the hypothesis that the second step is a concerted reaction. Our data support a definite effect of the substituent on the aryl migration. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental results. 相似文献

Summary A numerically stable and well-parallelizable curve variational algorithm is described for determining tangent curves of vector fields between two given stationary points. In particular, the method is suitable for finding reaction paths and saddle points on potential energy hypersurfaces (PHS). The stability of the procedure is illustrated by an artificial mathematical function, showing phases of following the reaction on the PHS.Dedicated to Professor Zoltán G. Szabó, the great teacher and scientist in reaction kinetics and in many other fields of physical chemistry, on his 84th birthday. 相似文献
Summary. The reaction of 2-chloroisobutyrophenones and nitromethanide anion gives stereoselectively (E)-3-nitro allylic alcohols. The Gibbs free enthalpies of reaction in DMSO for carbanion addition, epoxide formation, and rearrangement to 3-nitro allylic alcohol, as elementary steps for the reaction, were estimated from corresponding neutral gas reactions and using a thermodynamical approach to the transfer of gaseous compounds to DMSO. A criterion for assigning the sign of affinity of liquid compounds to DMSO was developed on the basis of the Gibbs enthalpies of liquefaction. The information obtained on reaction rate and thermodynamic viability of the steps indicates that carbanion addition is the rate-determining step.In memory of Prof. Dr. M.

The evidence for the stabilizing nature of the H–H bonding in planar biphenyl is succinctly reviewed. The stabilizing nature
of the H–H bonding is revealed through a comparison of the atomic energy of every atom in planar biphenyl with the same atom
in the twisted equilibrium structure. It is shown that the barrier to rotation via the planar transition state is the net
resultant of a stabilisation of the four ortho-hydrogen atoms (by 8 kcal/mol each), a stabilisation of the two para-carbon atoms (by 3 kcal/mol each) and by the dominant destabilisation of the two carbon atoms joining the two rings—the two
junction carbon atoms—(by 22 kcal/mol each). The energetic stabilisation of the four ortho-hydrogen atoms is further shown to be in large proportion due to the formation of the hydrogen–hydrogen interatomic surface.
Furthermore, neither the “bond order” between the two junction carbon atoms nor the total electron delocalisation between
the two rings exhibit a significant change in going from the planar to the twisted equilibrium geometry. These findings are
in contrast with the classical view of a balance between “steric non-bonded repulsion” and better electron delocalisation
as a function of the twist dihedral angle. Similar conclusions have been recently reached by Pacios and Gómez through a study
of the electrostatic potential at the position of the hydrogen nuclei.

The reaction of atomic radical F with propyne has been studied theoretically using ab initio quantum chemistry methods and
transition state theory. The potential energy surface was calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ (single-point) level using
the UMP2/6-311++G(d,p) optimized structures. Two reaction mechanisms including the addition–isomerization–elimination reaction
mechanism and the directed hydrogen abstraction reaction mechanism are considered. For the hydrogen abstraction reactions,
i.e., the most probable evolution pathway in the title reaction, the HF formation occurs via direct abstraction mechanism
dominantly and the H atom picked up by the atomic radical F should come mostly from the methyl group of normal propyne. On
the other hand, for the addition–isomerization–elimination mechanism, the most feasible pathway should be the atomic radical
F attacking on the C≡C triple bond in propyne (CH3C≡CH) to form a weakly-bound adduct A1 with no barrier, followed by F addition to the C≡C triple bond to form the low-lying
intermediate isomer 5. Subsequently, isomer 5 directly dissociates to P3 H2CCCHF + H via transition state TS5/P3. The other reaction pathways on the doublet PES are less competitive due to thermodynamical or kinetic factors. Furthermore,
based on the analysis of the kinetics of all channels through which the addition and abstraction reaction proceed, we expect
that the competitive power of reaction channels may vary with experimental conditions for the title reaction. The present
work will provide useful information for understanding the processes of atomic radical F reaction with other unsaturated hydrocarbons.

The diphosphate ester (ThDP) of thiamin (vitamin B1) is an important cofactor of enzymes within the carbohydrate metabolism. The initial reaction step shared by all ThDP-dependent enzymes is the deprotonation of the C2–H of the thiazolium ring. The replacement of the 4′-amino group by a hydroxyl one in the pyrimidine ring leads to the oxy-ThDP analogue which is known as an antagonist in thiamin catalysis.
Ab initio and DFT calculations on the MP2/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to study the proton relay function in thiamin and oxythiamin systems. Both MP2 and B3LYP calculations show significant differences of the reaction coordinate of the ylide formation in the systems. Tautomers, protonated and deprotonated species of both systems show different trends regarding their stability. The influence of correlation effects on the results is discussed by comparison with the HF-SCF/6-31G* data. Frequency calculations on the B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to characterize the minima and transition state structures, respectively. 相似文献
We describe the redox behaviour in non-aqueous solvents of some cyclopentadienyl(oxo)titanium derivatives. The derivative [Ti4{η5-C5H4(SiMe3)}4(μ-O)6] shows an electrochemically and chemically reversible le reduction process, followed by a multi-electron, chemically complicated reduction at a fairly cathodic potential. On the basis of the overall electrochemical features and the comparison with the redox behaviour of the quasi-planar compound [[Ti{η5-C5H4(SiMe3)}Cl(μ-O)]4] we propose an EECCEE mechanism for the first derivative, where the second electron-transfer induces a cascade of chemical reactions giving rise to irreversible cluster breakdown. The electrochemically induced fragmentation can be viewed as a retrosynthetic pathway. The heterometallic derivative [{Ti(η5-C5H4Me)2(μ2-MoO4)2}2] shows two consecutive reduction processes; the first is chemically reversible, and the second quasi-reversible. The molybdate bridges apparently increase the stability of the electrogenerated anions. However none of these poly-oxo clusters can be considered as good models of electron ‘sinks’. 相似文献
