Computations from the Davies group previously showed that there is a post-transition state bifurcation leading to a direct CH reaction and also to the CH/Cope product. While this work was in preparation, the Tantillo group and the Ess group independently reported quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics studies on the dirhodium-tetracarboxylate-catalyzed diazoester CH/Cope and CH insertion reactions with 1,3-cyclohexadiene and 1,4-cyclohexadiene, respectively. The Tantillo group cited \"dynamic mismatching\" to explain the origins of the low yield of CH/Cope products in some experiments; the Ess group explained the origins of product selectivity from the perspective of TS vibrational modes and their synchronization that occurs at the entropic intermediates. We report quasi-classical trajectories for the reaction of the carbene with 1-methylcyclohexene that afford both the CH/Cope and C-H insertion products. After passing through the transition state that involves mostly hydrogen transfer, momentum drives the reaction trajectories toward the CH/Cope products.</p>","PeriodicalId":57,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Organic Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142666617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
