Concerted [4 + 2] and Stepwise (2 + 2) Cycloadditions of Tetrafluoroethylene with Butadiene: DFT and DLPNO-UCCSD(T) Explorations.

ABSTRACT: Tetrafluoroethylene and butadiene form the 2 + 2 cycloadduct under kinetic control, but the Diels-Alder cycloadduct is formed under thermodynamic control. Borden and Getty showed that the preference for 2 + 2 cycloaddition is due to the necessity for syn-pyramidalization of the two CF2 groups in the 4 + 2 transition state. We have explored the full potential energy surface for the concerted and stepwise reactions of tetrafluoroethylene and butadiene with density functional theory, DFT (B3LYP and M06-2X), DLPNO-UCCSD(T), and CASSCF-NEVPT2 methods and with the distortion/interaction-activation strain model to explain the energetics of different pathways. The 2 + 2 cycloadduct is formed by an anti-transition state followed by two rotations and a final bond formation transition state. Energetics are compared to the reaction of maleic anhydride and ethylene.

Diels-Alder reactions of allene with benzene and butadiene: concerted, stepwise, and ambimodal transition states.

Project description:Multiconfigurational complete active space methods (CASSCF and CASPT2) have been used to investigate the (4 + 2) cycloadditions of allene with butadiene and with benzene. Both concerted and stepwise radical pathways were examined to determine the mechanism of the Diels-Alder reactions with an allene dienophile. Reaction with butadiene occurs via a single ambimodal transition state that can lead to either the concerted or stepwise trajectories along the potential energy surface, while reaction with benzene involves two separate transition states and favors the concerted mechanism relative to the stepwise mechanism via a diradical intermediate.

Concerted versus stepwise mechanism in thymidylate synthase.

Project description:Thymidylate synthase (TSase) catalyzes the intracellular de novo formation of thymidylate (a DNA building block) in most living organisms, making it a common target for chemotherapeutic and antibiotic drugs. Two mechanisms have been proposed for the rate-limiting hydride transfer step in TSase catalysis: a stepwise mechanism in which the hydride transfer precedes the cleavage of the covalent bond between the enzymatic cysteine and the product and a mechanism where both happen concertedly. Striking similarities between the enzyme-bound enolate intermediates formed in the initial and final step of the reaction supported the first mechanism, while QM/MM calculations favored the concerted mechanism. Here, we experimentally test these two possibilities using secondary kinetic isotope effect (KIE), mutagenesis study, and primary KIEs. The findings support the concerted mechanism and demonstrate the critical role of an active site arginine in substrate binding, activation of enzymatic nucleophile, and the hydride transfer studied here. The elucidation of this reduction/substitution sheds light on the critical catalytic step in TSase and may aid future drug or biomimetic catalyst design.

DFT Studies on the Stereoselectivity of ?-Silyloxy Diazoalkane Cycloadditions.

Project description:The intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) of alkene-tethered ?-silyloxydiazoalkanes provides variable stereoselectivity in generating bicyclic pyrazolines where the silyloxy group is either syn or anti to the newly formed pyrazoline ring. To elucidate the origin of the stereoselectivity, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out for the energy of each transition state structure (TSs) and product. Steric effects were identified as the major determining factors in the diastereoselectivity of the 32CA reaction with regards to substrate structure (cyclic or acyclic ?-silyloxydiazoalkanes).

Competitive [2,3]- and [1,2]-oxonium ylide rearrangements. Concerted or stepwise?

Project description:The axial-equatorial conformational isomer distribution of the reactant diazoacetoacetate or its metal carbene intermediate is reflected in Rh(II) catalyzed oxonium ylide forming reactions of 3-(trans-2-arylvinyl)tetrahydropyranone-5-diazoacetoacetates that afford diastereoisomeric products for both the symmetry-allowed [2,3]- and the formally symmetry-forbidden [1,2]-oxonium ylide rearrangements.

Intramolecular thermal stepwise [2 + 2] cycloadditions: investigation of a stereoselective synthesis of [n.2.0]-bicyclolactones.

Project description:Fused cyclobutanes are found in a range of natural products and formation of these motifs in a straightforward and easy manner represents an interesting synthetic challenge. To this end we investigated an intramolecular variant of the thermal enamine [2 + 2] cyclisation, developing a diastereoselective intramolecular enamine [2 + 2] cyclisation furnishing ? lactone and lactam fused cyclobutenes in good yield and excellent diastereoselectivity.

"Concerted" transition state, stepwise mechanism. Dynamics effects in C2-C6 enyne allene cyclizations.

Project description:The C2-C6 (Schmittel)/ene cyclization of enyne-allenes is studied by a combination of kinetic isotope effects, theoretical calculations, and dynamics trajectories. For the cyclization of allenol acetate 9, the isotope effect (k(CH3)/k(CD3) is approximately 1.43. The isotope effect is interpreted in terms of a highly asynchronous transition state near the concerted/stepwise boundary. This is supported by density functional theory calculations that locate a highly asynchronous transition structure for the concerted ene reaction. However, calculations of both the experimental system and a model reaction were unable to locate a transition structure for formation of the diradical intermediate of a stepwise mechanism. The stepwise mechanism and the asynchronous concerted mechanism start out geometrically similar, and the two pathways appear to have merged as far as the initial transition structure. For the model reaction, quasiclassical direct dynamics trajectories emanating from the initial transition structure afforded the diradical intermediate in 29 out of 101 trajectories. A large portion of the remaining trajectories completes hydrogen transfer before carbon-carbon bond formation, despite the advanced carbon-carbon bond formation in the asynchronous transition structure. Overall, the single minimum-energy path from starting material to product is inadequate to describe the reaction, and a consideration of dynamic effects is necessary to understand the mechanism. The implications of these observations toward questions of concert in other reactions are discussed.

Concerted or stepwise: how much do free-energy landscapes tell us about the mechanisms of elimination reactions?

Project description:The base-catalyzed dehydration of benzene cis-1,2-dihydrodiols is driven by formation of an aromatic product as well as intermediates potentially stabilized by hyperaromaticity. Experiments exhibit surprising shifts in isotope effects, indicating an unusual mechanistic balance on the E2-E1cB continuum. In this study, both 1- and 2-dimensional free energy surfaces are generated for these compounds with various substituents, using density functional theory and a mixed implicit/explicit solvation model. The computational data help unravel hidden intermediates along the reaction coordinate and provide a novel conceptual framework for distinguishing between competing pathways in this and any other system with borderline reaction mechanisms.

Vibrational anharmonicities and reactivity of tetrafluoroethylene.

Project description:Compared to ethylene and its nonfluorinated derivatives, C(2)F(4) is peculiar in many reactions. It very easily adds to radicals and prefers formation of four-membered rings over Diels-Alder reactions. This has been rationalized by the preference of fluorine for carbon sp(3) hybridization, which is possible on opening of the double bond. Another property, the thermal dissociation of the C ? C bond, has been explained by the stabilization of the product (CF(2)) by back-bonding. Here, it is attempted to correlate such properties with vibrational constants, in particular for C ? C stretching and twisting and for carbon pyramidalization. The only force constant found to be lowered compared to ethylene is that for trans pyramidalization (?(8)), and CC bond softening on ?(8) distortion is indicated by the conspicuously large magnitude of anharmonic constant, x(18). Both observations can be rationalized by a valence-bond model that predicts a trans bent structure on weakening the CC bond. Conclusions are drawn about the dissociation path and peculiarities of the potential. Other anharmonicities, both experimental and calculated and some in (12)C(13)CF(4) and (13)C(2)F(4), are also discussed. In particular some strong Fermi resonances are identified and their effects accounted for.

Entropic intermediates and hidden rate-limiting steps in seemingly concerted cycloadditions. Observation, prediction, and origin of an isotope effect on recrossing.

Project description:An unusual intramolecular kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in the reaction of dichloroketene with cis-2-butene does not fit with a simple asynchronous cycloaddition transition state, but it can be predicted from trajectory studies on a bifurcating energy surface. The origin of the KIE is related to a high propensity for transition state recrossing in this system, with heavier masses recrossing less. The KIE can also be predicted by a statistical model that treats the cycloaddition as a stepwise mechanism, the rate-limiting second step being associated with an entropic barrier for formation of the second carbon-carbon bond. The relevance of this stepwise mechanism to other asynchronous but seemingly concerted cycloadditions is suggested by examination of organocatalytic Diels-Alder reactions.

Computational Study on the Boundary Between the Concerted and Stepwise Mechanism of Bimolecular SNAr Reactions.

Project description:The text-book mechanism of bimolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitutions (SNAr) reactions is a stepwise process that proceeds via a so-called Meisenheimer intermediate. Only recently the alternative, concerted version of this mechanism has gained acceptance as more and more examples thereof have been reported. But so far only isolated examples of concerted SNAr reactions have been described and a coherent picture of when a SNAr reaction proceeds via a stepwise and when via a concerted mechanism has not yet been established. Here key factors are identified that influence the mechanistic choice of SNAr reactions. Moreover, the electron affinity is used as a simple descriptor to make a prediction on whether a given aryl fluoride substrate favors a concerted or stepwise mechanism.
