Understanding the Molecular Mechanism of Thermal and LA-Catalysed Diels–Alder Reactions between Cyclopentadiene and Isopropyl 3-Nitroprop-2-Enate

Abstract: The molecular mechanism of the Diels–Alder reaction with the participation of cyclopentadiene and isopropyl 3-nitroprop-2-enate was examined based on wb97xd/6-311+G(d) (PCM) quantum chemical calculations. It was found that the type of mechanism for the conversion of addends depends significantly on the reaction conditions. In less-polar environments, a one-step polar mechanism is realised. In more polar solvents, the formation of “extended”-type zwitterionic intermediates is possible. In contrast, in the prese… Show more

“…Analysis of the electronic properties of organic molecules is an important and universal tool for predicting their reactivity [67][68][69]. This approach was recently and successfully applied to interpret the reactivity of different types of molecular segments and the course of many bimolecular organic processes [70][71][72][73][74].…”

“…The regiodirection of the considered reaction is predominantly determined by steric repulsion involving the germinal methyl groups derived from the isobutene molecule. In contrast, analogous 32CAs involving electron-rich nitrile N-oxides and electrophilic alkenes are fully determined by the nature of global and local electronic interactions [23,24,70].…”

“…These compounds exhibit various biological activities such as antibacterial [ 5 , 6 ] or antifungal [ 7 ]. This makes CNAs often used in many reactions such as Michael addition [ 8 , 9 ] as well as cycloaddition (CA) reactions, to synthesize heterocycles, especially for the preparation of five-membered rings [ 10 ] like pyrazolines [ 11 , 12 ], isoxazolines [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ] or pyrrolidine [ 17 , 18 ], and six-membered rings in the Diels-Alder reaction [ 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
