Abstract

We have investigated the mechanism of aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr) reaction between 4-fluoro-1-naphthaldehyde/4-fluoro-2-naphthaldehyde/1-fluoro-2-naphthaldehyde/1-fluoronaphthalene with methylthiolate by DFT calculations at B3LYP/6-31+G (d,p) level of theory in gas phase and also in polar protic/aprotic solvents. The results show that aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction proceeds by concerted mechanism via formation of single transition state as it has lower activation energy bather as compared with stepwise mechanism. The introduction of solvent increases the activation energy barrier indicating significant effect of solvents on transition state. The activation energy bather was found to be a minimum in gas phase then in DMSO which is followed by protic polar solvents methanol and water. Thus, the polar aprotic solvent DMSO works best for aromatic nucleophilic substitution of fluorine. The presence of a formyl group was found to be essential for reaction to take place, and in the gas phasi- as well as in solution phase, the order of reactivity was found to be 4-fluoro-1-naphthaldehyde > 1-fluoro-2-naphthaldehyde > 4-fluoro-2-naphthaldehyde > 1-fluoronaphthalene.

Nucleophilic Substitution at Heteroatoms-Identity Substitution Reactions at Phosphorus and Sulfur Centers: Do They Proceed in a Concerted (SN2) or Stepwise (A-E) Way?

Marian Mikolajczyk, Marek Cypryk, Bartlomiej Gostynski, Jakub Kowalczewski

Summary: The mechanisms of three selected identity substitution reactions at phosphorus and sulfur have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The results show that these reactions can occur via stepwise or synchronous mechanisms, and DFT method is useful in distinguishing between these mechanisms.

DFT Study of the SNAr Reactions of 1-Chloro-2-nitro- and 1-Phenoxy-2-nitro-benzenes with Aniline in Acetonitrile and Toluene: Concerted or Multistep Mechanism?

Oluwakemi A. Oloba-Whenu, Chukwuemeka Isanbor

Summary: This study investigated the reaction mechanism and thermodynamic properties of nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions of different functionalized dinitrobenzenes and corresponding phenoxy derivatives with aniline under different conditions using computational methods. The formation of Meisenheimer complex intermediates was observed, and their stability depended on the number and position of electron-withdrawing groups on the ring. The overall reactions were exothermic and exergonic. From kinetics calculations, it was found that the initial attack of aniline on dinitrobenzene was the rate-limiting step in acetonitrile, while the decomposition of the intermediate MC was the rate-limiting step in vacuum and toluene. The results suggest the prevalence of a multistep SNAr mechanism and indicate that electron-withdrawing groups can enhance the reaction rate.

Effect of the Nucleophile's Nature on Chloroacetanilide Herbicides Cleavage Reaction Mechanism. A DFT Study

Sebastian A. Cuesta, F. Javier Torres, Luis Rincon, Jose Luis Paz, Edgar A. Marquez, Jose R. Mora

Summary: In this study, the degradation mechanism of chloroacetanilide herbicides in the presence of four different nucleophiles was theoretically evaluated. The results showed that nucleophiles where a sulfur atom performs the nucleophilic attack are the most effective, and the R groups of the compounds have a negligible effect on the reaction process. Geometrical changes and electronic rearrangements were found to contribute significantly to the activation energy of the process.

Xinyuan Wu, Qilei Liu, Yujing Zhao, Lei Zhang, Jian Du

Summary: This study presents a new reaction solvent screening framework, establishing a reaction kinetic model based on frontier molecular orbital theory and using an implicit solvation model to quantify the solvent effects on reaction systems independent of transition states. By this method, high-throughput screening of reaction solvents is achieved, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework are demonstrated in two case studies.

Solvent effect on mechanistic pathways in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of formaldehyde

Cheng Yang, Maoshuai Li, Weikang Dai, Jie Wei, Qi Yang, Yi Feng, Wanxin Yang, Jie Ding, Ying Zheng, Mei-Yan Wang, Xinbin Ma

Summary: The nature of the solvent has a significant impact on the activity and selectivity of the hydroformylation reaction. Solvents with stronger electron-donating ability lower the energy barrier for the reaction and promote the formation of glycolaldehyde. Polar aprotic solvents can participate in the reaction through proton transfer, leading to the formation of hydroxymethyl species.

1,2,3-Triazoles as leaving groups in SNAr-Arbuzov reactions: synthesis of C6-phosphonated purine derivatives

Karlis-Eriks Krikis, Irina Novosjolova, Anatoly Mishnev, Maris Turks

Summary: A new method utilizing 1,2,3-triazoles as leaving groups in SNAr-Arbuzov reactions to transform C-N bonds into C-P bonds was developed. C6-phosphonated 2-triazolylpurine derivatives were synthesized for the first time with yields reaching up to 82% in the C-P-bond-forming event. The regioselectivity pattern of C6-position being more reactive towards substitution in the SNAr-Arbuzov reaction of 2,6-bistriazolylpurines was conclusively proven through X-ray analysis.

Quaternary and Tertiary Carbon Centers Synthesized via Gallium-Catalyzed Direct Substitution of Unfunctionalized Propargylic Alcohols with Boronic Acids

Clayton P. Donald, Amy Boylan, Truong N. Nguyen, Po-An Chen, Jeremy A. May

Summary: The (IPr)GaCl3/AgSbF6, AgSbF6, and GaCl3 catalysts were found to efficiently catalyze the substitution of the hydroxyl group of secondary and tertiary propargylic alcohols with organoboronic acids via C-C bond formation, and GaCl3 catalyst effectively synthesized all-carbon quaternary propargylic centers. These catalysts demonstrated the ability to perform substitutions at carbons bearing alkyl substituents, a capability that was lacking in other systems. The study showed that highly hindered carbon stereocenters, including quaternary centers bearing doubly ortho-substituted aryl rings, could be accessed efficiently using this method.
