| description | One of the most powerful methods for the rapid synthesis and formation of complex polycyclic molecules with biological interest involves the use of Diels–Alder (DA) reaction especially its intramolecular variant. The trans isomers of 4-substituted cycloheptenones were experimentally found to be excellent ethylenes, readily undergoing DA reactions. In this study we were interested to elucidate and predict the reactivity of the intramolecular DA (IMDA) reactions of the trans-A and trans-B isomers of 4-substituted cycloheptenone by means of the indexes of reactivity derived from DFT, at B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p) level of theory, using Gaussian09 program. In order to identify the reactional sites and to predict site selectivity of these compounds towards electrophilic and nucleophilic attack, the electrophilic Pk+ and nucleophilic Pk- Parr functions, the local electrophilicity ωk and local nucleophilicity Nk were used in order to characterize the most electrophilic and nucleophilic sites. For the purpose, to make clear classification of the electrophilicity and nucleophilicity of the interacting diene and ethylene moieties within the same molecule, the local reactivity difference index Rk was used as a power full descriptor to study this IMDA cycloaddition. The fragments electrophilicity and nucleophilicity indices were calculated, according to the fragmentation model. The dual philicity index γ and the degree of transferability were determined. Here presented calculations showed, as expected, that the electronic transfer will take place from diene to ethylene moiety. The predictions thus made are in good agreement with other theoretical studies that analyse the electronic transfer through global electronic density transfer (GEDT). |
