Computational Design of a Tetrapericyclic Cycloaddition and the Nature of Potential Energy Surfaces with Multiple Bifurcations

Ana Martin-Somer et al.

Summary: An ambimodal transition state (TS) has been designed and explored using DFT computations and quasiclassical molecular dynamics, which leads to the formation of four different pericyclic reaction products without any intervening minima. Direct dynamics simulations starting from the ambimodal TS demonstrate the evolution of trajectories that result in the formation of the four cycloadducts. The product selectivity is influenced by the topography of the potential energy surface (PES), and a correlation is observed between the geometrical resemblance of the products to the ambimodal TS (measured by RMSD) and the ratio of products formed in the dynamics simulations.

Barrier Heights for Diels-Alder Transition States Leading to Pentacyclic Adducts: A Benchmark Study of Crowded, Strained Transition States of Large Molecules

Maryam Mansoori Kermani et al.

Summary: Theoretical characterization of reactions of complex molecules requires accurate determination of the relative energies of intermediates and transition states. In this study, the DLPNO-CCSD(T) method was employed to provide benchmark values for Diels-Alder transition states leading to strained pentacyclic adducts. Various wave function and density functional methods were compared for their prediction of absolute and relative barrier heights. The results show that only a few density functionals can satisfactorily predict absolute barrier heights, while relative barrier heights are more accurate. The findings of this study can guide the selection of density functionals for future studies on crowded, strained transition states of large molecules.

Computations on Pericyclic Reactions Reveal the Richness of Ambimodal Transition States and Pericyclases

K. N. Houk et al.

Summary: The concept of pericyclic reactions was developed by Woodward and Hoffmann 56 years ago, and has been further studied through high-accuracy quantum mechanical calculations and computational methods in recent years. This has enriched our understanding of pericyclic reactions, outlining the subtleties of bond formation and the involvement of enzymes in catalyzing such reactions.

Ambimodal Bispericyclic [6+4]/[4+6] Transition State Competes with Diradical Pathways in the Cycloheptatriene Dimerization: Dynamics and Experimental Characterization of Thermal Dimers

Qingyang Zhou et al.

Summary: The thermal dimerization of cycloheptatriene can occur through a concerted [6 + 4] cycloaddition via an ambimodal [6 + 4]/[4 + 6] transition state or a stepwise diradical (6 + 2) cycloaddition. The resulting dimers undergo intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloadditions to form thermally stable tetracyclic products. The energy barrier in cycloheptatriene dimerization is attributed to its high distortion energy. Experimental studies confirmed the predicted reaction pathways.

Cycloadditions of Cyclopentadiene and Cycloheptatriene with Tropones: All Endo-[6+4] Cycloadditions Are Ambimodal

Cooper S. Jamieson et al.

Summary: Through quantum mechanical studies and molecular dynamics simulations, it was found that the cycloadditions of cyclopentadiene and cycloheptatriene with tropone involve ambimodal transition states, leading to a complex network of products. This general concept was supported by calculations of simple parent systems and a thorough meta-analysis of literature examples.
