Importance of the Electron Correlation and Dispersion Corrections in Calculations Involving Enamines, Hemiaminals, and Aminals. Comparison of B3LYP, M06-2X, MP2, and CCSD Results with Experimental Data
摘要:
While B3LYP, M06-2X, and MP2 calculations predict the Delta G degrees values for exchange equilibria between enamines and ketones with similar acceptable accuracy, the M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) and MP2/6-311+G(d,p) methods are required for enamine formation reactions (for example, for enamine 5a, arising from 3-methylbutanal and pyrrolidine). Stronger disagreement was observed when calculated energies of hemiaminals (N,O-acetals) and aminals (N,N-acetals) were compared with experimental equilibrium constants, which are reported here for the first time. Although it is known that the B3LYP method does not provide a good description of the London dispersion forces, while M06-2X and MP2 may overestimate them, it is shown here how large the gaps are and that at least single-point calculations at the CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d) level should be used for these reaction intermediates; CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d) and CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p) calculations afford Delta G degrees values in some cases quite close to MP2/6-311+G(d,p) while in others closer to M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p). The effect of solvents is similarly predicted by the SMD, CPCM, and IEFPCM approaches (with energy differences below 1 kcal/mol).

Enamines from 3-methylbutanal and several Pro- and Phe-derived secondaryamines were prepared in DMSO-d6, CD3CN, and CDCl3. For the first time, the relative thermodynamic stabilities of these and other enamines were compared, and rapid exchanges of 1-alkenyl groups were demonstrated. Competition experiments showed that the most favored enamines (without significant steric inhibition of resonance) react
在DMSO- d 6,CD 3 CN和CDCl 3中制备了3-甲基丁醛的烯胺以及几种Pro和Phe衍生的仲胺。第一次,比较了这些和其他烯胺的相对热力学稳定性,并证明了1-烯基的快速交换。竞争实验表明,最喜欢的烯胺(对共振没有明显的空间抑制作用)与亲电子试剂反应更快。

The directenantioselective hydroxymethylation of aldehydes utilizing α,α-diphenylprolinoltrimethylsilylether as an organocatalyst is described. The intermediate α-substituted β-hydroxyaldehydes were not isolated but converted to the more readily isolable derivatives. For example, the derived hydroxy acids were isolated in up to 94% yield with excellent enantioselectivity.
Phosphoric Acid Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Bicyclic Bislactones Bearing an All-Carbon Stereogenic Center: Total Syntheses of (−)-Rhazinilam and (−)-Leucomidine B
the presence of a catalytic amount of an imidodiphosphoric acid, enantioselective desymmetrization of bicyclicbislactones by reaction with alcohols took place smoothly to afford enantiomerically enriched monoacids having an all‐carbon stereogeniccenter. Concise catalytic enantioselective syntheses of both (−)‐rhazinilam and (−)‐leucomidine B were subsequently developed using (S)‐methyl 4‐ethyl‐4‐formylpimelate
