Theoretical insight into the mechanism and selectivity of the [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of N-methyl-1-phenylmethanimine oxide and bicyclopropylidene from the MEDT perspective

Abstract: The mechanism and regioselectivity of [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of N-methyl-1phenylmethanimine oxide nitrone 1 and bicyclopropylidene 2 are analyzed using molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. A study of the electron localisation function (ELF) predicts the zwitter-ionic nature of the nitrone, allowing its participation in zw-type 32CA reactions with a high energy barrier that must be surmounted by suitable electrophilic-nucleophilic interactions. The global elec… Show more

“…Methylene blue was drawn by the use of Avogadro software , and geometrically optimized using MOPAC2016 via the PM6 semiempirical model. The MOPAC output was optimized via the use of Gaussian’16 software via the use of B3LYP/6-311+G­(d,p) level of theory. The highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) and their energies and the Mulliken charges and NPA charges were extracted using the Gauss view program…”
