The reactivity and regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of aryl and heteroaryl nitrile oxides (1a–1c) with bicyclic monoterpenes (R)-(+)-a-pinene (2a) and (S)-(–)-b-pinene (2b) have been investigated by using density functional theory based on reactivity indices and activation energy calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory in the gas phase. The potential energy surface analyses for both reactions are in agreement with the experimental observations. Moreover, our calculations on the geometries, bond orders, and global electron density transfers at the transition state structures shows that these 1,3- dipolar cycloaddition reactions occur via an asynchronous one-step mechanism.
