Abstract
Under thermal conditions perezone, a sesquiterpene quinone, forms an equimolar amount of a- and β-pipitzol through an intermolecular cycloaddition reaction. Computational calculations at M06-2x/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory of the transition states and the associated reaction paths allow justifying the experimental observations. Only exo adducts are observed experimentally, which is in line with the calculated energy difference of 6.5 kcal/mol between the transition states associated with the endo and exo adducts. Activation free energy was accurately predicted, those the uncatalyzed thermal process of cycloaddition requires 37.0 kcal/mol. The study of the potential energy surface allows to establish the existence of folded conformers of perezone in the potential energy surface. Resumen. En condiciones térmicas la perezona, una quinona sesquiterpénica, forma, cantidades equimolares de a- y β-pipitzoles a través de una reacción de cicloadición intramolecular. A nivel M06-2x/6-311++G(2d,2p) el cálculo de los estados de transición y de las trayectorias de reacción asociadas permiten justificar los resultados observados. Desde el punto de vista experimental sólo se forman los aductos exo y no los endo pues los estados de transición relacionados muestran una diferencia energética de 6.5 kcal/mol. La energía de activación calculada para el procedo desprovisto de catálisis es de 37.0 kcal/mol. El estudio de la superficie de energía potencial permite establecer la existencia de confórmeros plegados de la perezona.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
