“…Contrary to these data, however, we showed that the suitable site in o-benzoquinones 2d for these types of reactions is A (Scheme 8). 14,30,[32][33][34][35] According to these data, it can be concluded that final products (7b and 3d) cannot always be produced in the thermodynamically favored direction, and site-selectivity is not affected by G aq . For more studies, using NBO analysis and B3LYP level of theory, the charge of each reaction site for quinones 2a-2d and 6a,6b was calculated (Fig.…”
