Abstract
Derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridine, 1,4-dihydropyrimidine, and its azolo analogs possess a wide range of biological activity and are involved in cellular bioenergetics. Dihydrocycles can be oxidized up to corresponding aromatic ones due to two one-electron transfers. Mechanism of the oxidation process was modeled as a stepwise change of the 1,4-dihydropyridine, 1,4-dihydropyrimidine, and pyrrolo-1,4-dihydropyrimidine using different levels of theory (Hartree–Fock, MP2, DFT), basis sets, and models of environment (vacuum approximation, PCM model describing a non-specific influence of polarizing environment, or PCM model with an explicit water molecule describing both non-specific and specific influence of neighboring molecules). It is shown that the potential of the first one-electron transfer I1 depends on the level of theory and the model of an environment used in calculations. The potential of the second one-electron transfer I2 depends only on the model of an environment. The analysis of their differences calculated using different approaches has revealed the dependence only from the level of theory. Since DFT methods provide the geometric characteristics of 1,4-dihydroheterocycles closest to the experimental data, it seems reasonable to use these relatively cheap calculations to study the oxidation process.
期刊介绍:
Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry.
We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
