The cycloaddition reaction of ethylene and methane mediated by Ir^(+) to generate a half-sandwich structure Ir HCp^(+)

The cycloaddition reactions of methane and ethylene mediated by Ir^(+) have been designed and studied by the techniques of mass spectrometry in conjunction with theoretical calculations.Studies have shown that Ir^(+) can mediate the cycloaddition reaction of CH4and two C_(2)H_(4) to generate a half-sandwich structure IrHCp^(+)(Cp=η^(5)-C_(5)H_(5))including pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand by continuous dehydrogenation reaction with the forming of three C-C bonds and seven C-H bonds.The orbital analysis indicates the mechanism of the cyclization reaction to generation of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand with odd number carbon atom depends on the overlap ofπorbitals in-C_(2)H_(2) and carbene,which is more difficult than the forming of cyclobutadiene ligand and benzene.This study may help to understand the reaction mechanism in the cycloaddition reactions of organic compounds,which will be useful to guide the rational design of new catalysts with tailored selectivity and increased efficiency.

Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of the Cycloaddition Reaction between Dichloromethylene Germylene and Ethylene

The mechanism of a cycloaddition reaction between singlet dichloromethylene germylene and ethylene has been investigated with B3LYP/6-31G＊ method, including geometry optimization and vibrational analysis for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface. Energies for the involved conformations were calculated by CCSD（T）//B3LYP/6-31G＊ method. On the basis of the surface energy profile obtained with CCSD（T）// B3LYP/6-31G＊ method for the cycloaddition reaction between singlet dichloromethylene germylene and ethylene, it can be predicted that the dominant reaction pathway is that an intermediate INT1 is firstly formed between the two reactants through a barrier-free exothermic reaction of 61.7 kJ/mol, and the intermediate INT1 then isomerizes to an active four-membered ring product P2.1 via a transition state TS2, an intermediate INT2 and a transition state TS2.1, in which energy barriers are 57.7 and 42.2 kJ/mol, respectively.

Theoretical Study on Mechanism of Cycloadditional Reaction Between Dichloro-Germylidene and Formaldehyde

Mechanism of the cycloadditional formaldehyde has been investigated reaction between singlet with MP2/6-31G^＊ method, dichloro-germylidene and including geometry optimization, vibrational analysis and energies for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface. 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.

Stereocontrol of the Schiff Base of Substituted Benzaldehyde to Staudinger Cycloaddition Reaction

Syntheses of 4 novel chiral azetidin 2 one derivatives, which were characterized by 1H NMR, IR, specific rotation and elemental analysis, through Staudinger cycloaddition reaction of Schiff base of benzaldehyde with chlorine substitution at different position in benzene ring, were described. For the first time, this type of 3 S ,4 R configuration azetidin 2 one mono^crystals with many chiral centers [(3 S ,4 R ) 3 hydroxy N [( S ) (1 phenyl)ethyl ] 4 (2′ chlorophenyl) azetidin 2 one mono^crystal] were obtained, the structures of which were determined by X ray dif fraction analysis. The effects of Schiff base of benzaldehyde with chlorine subs titu tion at different position in benzene ring on stereoselectivity of Staudinger cy cloaddition reaction products were discussed and the results are showed as below : 2 chlorophenyl Schiff base favored to yield 3 S ,4 R configuration prod uct, but 4 chlorophenyl Schiff base favored to yield 3 R ,4 S configuration produc t. The re action orientation of 2,4 dichlorophenyl Schiff base was determined by corporat e effect of 2 and 4 chlorine, and that of the 4 chlorine was more obvious. In co ntrast to 4 chlorophenyl, although the main product was 3 R ,4 S configur ation, 3 chlorophenyl owned lower selectivity.

Tadpole-shaped polymers based on UV-induced strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction

In the present study, we synthesized well-defined tadpole-shaped polystyrene(PS) via the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP) and UV-induced strain promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddtion(SPAAC) reaction. A di-bromo ATRP initiator(Br-ini-Br) containing cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctyne group was used to prepare the linear PS with a cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctyne in the middle of the chain and bromo groups at both ends(Br-PS-Br). Then we used the single electron transfer-nitroxide radical coupling(SET-NRC) reaction to transfer the bromo end groups to azide groups(N_3-PS-N_3). After UV irradiation, the dibenzocyclooctyne group was quantitatively released, and intramolecularly reacted with alternative azide end group to produce the tadpole-shaped PS based on SPAAC reaction.

Features of Mechanism of Cycloaddition Reaction between Me2Ge=Sn:and Ethylene

X2Ge=Sn:(X=H,Me,F,Cl,Br,Ph,Ar…)are new species of chemistry.The cycloaddition reaction of X2Ge=Sn:is a new study field of stannylene chemistry.To explore the rules of cycloaddition reaction between X2Ge=Sn:and the symmetric p-bonded compounds,the cycloaddition reactions of Me2Ge=Sn:and ethylene were selected as model reactions in this paper,and the mechanism was investigated for the first time here using the MP2 theory together with the 6-311++G**basis set for C,H and Ge atoms and the LanL2dzbasis set for Sn atoms.From the potential energy profile,it could be predicted that the reaction has one dominant reaction channel.The reaction rule present is that the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn in Me2Ge=Sn:and theπorbital of ethylene form a p→p donor–acceptor bond,resulting in an intermediate which,due to its instability,makes itself isomerize into a four-membered Ge-heterocyclic ring stannylene.Because the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn atom in the four-membered Ge-heterocyclic ring stannylene and theπorbital of ethylene form a p→p donor-acceptor bond,the four-membered Ge-heterocyclic ring stannylene further combines with ethylene to get another intermediate.Because the Sn atom in this intermediate exhibits sp3 hybridization after transition state,the intermediate isomerizes to a Ge-heterocyclic spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound.The research result indicates the laws of cycloaddition reaction between X2Ge=Sn:and the symmetricπ-bonded compounds.This study opens up a new research field for stannylene chemistry.

Theoretical Study of the Mechanism of Cycloaddition Reaction between Silylene Silylene （H2Si=Si：） and Acetone

The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between singlet silylene silylene （H2Si = Si：） and acetone has been investigated with the CCSD （T）//MP2/6-31 G＊ method, According to the potential energy profile, it can be predicted that the reaction has two competitive dominant reaction channels. The present rule of this reaction is that the [2 ＋ 2] cycloaddition reaction of the two ^-bonds in silylene silylene （H2Si=Si：） and acetone leads to the formation of a four-membered ring silylene （E3）. Because of the unsaturated property of Si： atom in E3, it further reacts with ace- tone to form a silicic bis-heterocyclic compound （P7）. Simultaneously, the ring strain of the four-membered ring silylene （E3） makes it isomerize to a twisted four-membered ring product （P4）.

Mechanistic Investigation on Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of 2-Vinylphenol Derivatives with Ethyne or Carbon Monoxide by DFT Study

Rhodium-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction was calculated by density functional theory M06-2X method to directly synthesize benzoxepine and coumarin derivatives.In this work,we conducted a computational study of two competitive mechanisms in which the carbon atom of acetylene or carbon monoxide attacked and inserted from two different directions of the six-membered ring reactant to clarify the principle characteristics of this transformation.The calculation results reveal that:(i)the insertion process of alkyne or carbon monoxide is the key step of the reaction;(ii)for the(5+2)cycloaddition reaction of acetylene,higher energy is required to break the Rh−O bond of the reactant,and the reaction tends to complete the insertion from the side of the Rh−C bond;(iii)for the(5+1)cycloaddition of carbon monoxide,both reaction paths have lower activation free energy,and the two will generate a competition mechanism.
