The mechanism of cycloaddition reaction between singlet Me2C=Sn: and ethene was investigated for the first time using the MP2/GENECP (C, H in 6-311++G**; Sn in LanL2dz) method. From the potential energy profile, it was predicted that the reaction has one dominant channel in which the 5p unoccupied orbital of Sn: in Me2C=Sn: and the π orbital of ethene form a π→p donor-acceptor bond in an intermediate product. Instability of the intermediate product results in its isomerization to a four-membered ring of stannylene. The four-membered stannylene further combines with ethene to form another intermediate product that further isomerizes to a spiro-Sn-heterocyclic ring compound.","PeriodicalId":12914,"journal":{"name":"Heterocyclic Communications","volume":"24 1","pages":"311 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2018-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/hc-2018-0129","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41533995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
