    J. Phys. Chem. B 1998, 102, 7877-7881 7877 Solvent Effects on Structure and Reaction Mechanism: A Theoretical Study of [2 + 2] Polar Cycloaddition between Ketene and Imine Thanh N. Truong Henry Eyring Center for Theoretical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 ReceiVed: March 25, 1998; In Final Form: July 17, 1998 The effects of aqueous solvent on structures and mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition between ketene and imine were investigated by using correlated MP2 and MP4 levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory in conjunction with the dielectric continuum Generalized Conductor-like Screening Model (GCOSMO) for solvation. We found that reactions in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have very different topology on the free energy surfaces but have similar characteristic motion along the reaction coordinate. First, it involves formation of a planar trans-conformation zwitterionic complex, then a rotation of the two moieties to form the cycloaddition product. Aqueous solvent significantly stabilizes the zwitterionic complex, consequently changing the topology of the free energy surface from a gas-phase single barrier (one-step) process to a double barrier (two-step) one with a stable intermediate. Electrostatic solvent-solute interaction was found to be the dominant factor in lowering the activation energy by 4.5 kcal/mol. The present calculated results are consistent with previous experimental data. Introduction Lim and Jorgensen have also carried out free energy perturbation (FEP) theory simulations with accurate force field that includes + [2 2] cycloaddition reactions are useful synthetic routes to solute polarization effects and found even much larger solvent - formation of four-membered rings.

These hypothetical dimers are 50−99 kcal/mol less stable than two benzenes, but have computed activation energies to fragmentation ≥27 kcal/mol. A thorough search of potential escape routes was undertaken, through cyclobutane ring cleavage to 12-annulenes, sigmatropic 1,5-H-shifts, electrocyclic ring-openings of the 6-membered rings, and Diels−Alder dimerizations. Some channels for reaction emerge, but there is a reasonable chance that some of these new benzene dimers can be made. Apparently trans-bridging a butadiene 1,2 on a cyclobutane ring, with the latter’s freedom to pucker, is not as difficult as one n the course of thinking about benzene under gigapascal might think.11 Nor is it problematic for a butadiene to bridge the I pressure,1 we decided we might learn something from the gauche positions of an approximately staggered ethane. dimers of benzene, as signposts to the pressure-induced poly- No longer succumbing to the prejudice of avoiding trans- merization of the compound.

On the basis of the reaction mechanism, these substitution reactions can be divided into electrophilic, nucleophilic, radical, and transition metal catalyzed. This article also focuses on electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution mechanisms. Introduction The replacement of an atom, generally hydrogen, or a group attached to the carbon from the benzene ring by another group is known as aromatic substitution. The regioselectivity of these reactions depends upon the nature of the existing substituent and can be ortho, Meta or Para selective. Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (EAS) reactions are important for synthetic purposes and are also among the most thoroughly studied classes of organic reactions from a mechanistic point of view. A wide variety of electrophiles can effect aromatic substitution. Usually, it is a substitution of some other group for hydrogen that is of interest, but this is not always the case. For example, both silicon and mercury substituent’s can be replaced by electrophiles. The reactivity of a particular electrophile determines which aromatic compounds can be successfully substituted. Despite the wide range of electrophilic species and aromatic ring systems that can undergo substitution, a single broad mechanistic picture encompasses most EAS reactions.
