摘要
利用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了钌催化C1取代的不对称氧苯并甲氧二烯(OBDs)异构化的机理和区域选择性。本研究阐明了一个三步催化循环:氧化加成、η - 1 - to - η - 3 -烯丙基异构化和还原消除。自由能谱的分析表明氧化加成是速率决定步骤,也是区域选择性的主要贡献者。DFT计算预测,缺乏电子的obd倾向于生成1,2 -萘氧化物,而富有电子的obd倾向于生成1 -萘酚产物,这与实验结果一致。
Ruthenium‐Catalyzed Isomerization of Oxabicyclic Alkenes to 1,2‐Naphthalene Oxides: A Density Functional Theory Study
The mechanism and regioselectivity of ruthenium‐catalyzed isomerization of C1‐substituted, unsymmetrical oxabenzonorbornadienes (OBDs) are investigated using density functional theory (DFT). This study elucidates a three‐step catalytic cycle: oxidative addition, η1‐ to η3‐allyl isomerization, and reductive elimination. Analysis of the free energy profile identifies oxidative addition as the rate‐determining step and as the primary contributor to regioselectivity. DFT calculations predict that electron‐deficient OBDs preferentially yield 1,2‐naphthalene oxide, while electron‐rich OBDs favor the formation of 1‐naphthol products, in agreement with experimental findings.
