By making use of a novel diastereotopicity probe, namely C(CF3)(2)OH, it has been possible to measure by very low temperature F-19 NMR spectroscopy the elusive aryl aryl rotation barriers of biphenyls bearing an OH or F group in one rill position. The expe ...
Upon metalation and subsequent electrophilic trapping, 2-fluoronaphthalene inevitably gives rise to regioisomeric mixtures in varying proportions, whereas 2-(trifluoromethyl) naphthalene undergoes deprotonation either at the 1- or the 3-position, depending ...
Torsional barriers of 15 ortho-substituted biphenyls have been determined computationally using the B3LYP density functional and experimentally by variable-temperature ("dynamic") nuclear magnetic resonance. Taking advantage of the 3'-isopropyldimethylsily ...
The potential energy surfaces of the desulfinylation of prop-2-enesulfinic acid (13) in CH2Cl2 solution at -15 degrees C have been explored by quantum calculations and analyzed with kinetic data obtained for the reaction in absence or presence of additives ...
Despite the widespread use and numerous successful applications of density functional theory, descriptions of hydrocarbon reaction energies remain problematic. Illustrative examples include large underestimation of energies associated with alkane bond sepa ...
The mechanism of the reaction between the complex [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(N2C2H4)] and azetidin-2-one or 3-formylamino-N-sulf onatoazetidin-2-one was investigated by using the B3LYP density functional theory methodology in conjunction with the PCM-UAHF model to tak ...
Protonation of norbom-5-en-2-one gives 6-oxo-2-norbomyl cation (2) as most stable C7H9O+ cation. Quantum calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level (gas phase, 1 atm, 25 degrees C) predict a C-s-structure for 2 that can be represented as an intramolecular pi-com ...
H2S adsorption and dissociation on the gallium-rich GaAs( 001)- 4 x 2 surface is investigated using hybrid density functional theory. Starting from chemisorbed H2S on the GaAs( 001)- 4 x 2 surface, two possible reaction routes have been proposed. We find t ...
Nine 1,3-dichlorobenzene congeners were selected as model compds. to assess the relative rates of proton abstraction from 4- and 5-positions ("ortho" vs. "meta" metalation). Using lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide as the basic reagent, the chlorine-adj ...
Computations on the reaction of azetidin-2-one, N-sulfonate azetidin-2-one, and 3-formylamine-N-sulfonate azetidin-2-one with [Mo(OH)(eta(3)-C3H5)(CO) 2(N2C2H4)] were performed at the B3LYP/6-31 + G(d,p) (LANL2DZ for Mo augmented by f polarization function ...
