From the potential energy profile, we predict that the cyeloaddition reaction between singlet dichloro-germylidene and formaldehyde has two competitive dominant reaction pathways, going with the formation of two side products （INT3 and INT4）, simultaneously. Both of the two competitive reactions consist of two steps, two reactants firstly form a three-membered ring intermediate INT1 and a twisted four-membered ring intermediate INT2, respectively, both of which are barrier-free exothermic reactions of 41.5 and 72.3 kJ/mol; then INT1 isomerizes to a four-membered ring product P1 via transition state TS1, and INT2 isomerizes to a chlorine-traasfer product P2 via transition state TS2, with the barriers of 2.9 and 0.3 kJ/mol, respectively. Simultaneously, P1 and INT2 further react with formaldehyde to form INT3 and INT4, respectively, which are also barrier-free exothermic reaction of 74.9 and 88.1 kJ/mol.展开更多

The results indicate that vicinal diimines prefer stepwise [2＋2] cycloaddition rather than [2＋4] cycloaddition to generate cis-4-imino-β-lactams. The diimines attack the less sterically hindered exo-side of ketenes to generate zwitterionic intermediates, which directly undergo a conrota- tory ring closure to produce cis-4-imino-β-lactams whatever diimines with less or more bulky N-substituents. For unsymmetric vicinal ketoaldehyde-derived diimines, their ketimines attack the exo-side of ketenes and undergo a conrotatory ring closure to produce cis-4-aldimino-β-lactams due to less steric effect. The current theoretical studies provide very important information for in-depth understanding of the selective formation of mono-cis-β-lactams from vicinal diimines and ketenes.展开更多
