RHF-SCF 3-21G calculations are reported for the 1A′, 1,3A″, 12A′, and 1,32A″ states of simple substituted allenes YCHCCH2, where Y = CH3, H, F, Cl, CF3, and the 1A′ and 1,3A″ states of their Markovnikov (M) and anti-Markovnikov (aM) cations, CHYCHCH2+ and CHYCCH3+, respectively. Equilibrium electronic structures and the mechanism of adiabatic protonation are described qualitatively in terms of Lewis/resonance schematic representations. Calculated proton affinities (PA) suggest that relative to the ground state (1A′), the excited states 1,32A″ are of greatly enhanced basicity with respect to protonation at either regiocenter. A graphical representation of PA(M) versus PA(aM) leads to the following conclusions: (1) irrespective of both regiocenter (M/aM) and state (1A′/32A″/12A″), the PA's for YCHCCH2 decrease with respect to Y in the order CH3 > H > Cl > CF3; (2) the F-substituent gives a PA value greater than that for H- in the ground state, but less than that for H- in the two excited states; (3) for all substituents Y, including CF3, protonation of both 1A′ and 12A″ is predicted to be regioselective in the M direction; (4) regardless of Y, 32A″ exhibits no significant protonation regioselectivity. Critical comparison of these theoretical predictions is made with available experimental evidence. Keywords: proton transfer, excited states, photohydration, allenes.

In the present study, first, the intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) process of juglone and its derivatives were theoretically investigated in the gas phase and the effect of electron-withdrawing and electronreleasing substituents in different positions of the phenyl and benzoquinone rings of juglone on the IPT process was studied in which the geometries, energies and thermodynamic functions of the compounds were obtained using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(2d,p) level. Next, the influence of IPT on changing the aromaticity of the phenyl and benzoquinone rings was investigated. To determine the aromaticity of the rings, nuclear independent chemical shift (NICS) values were calculated for the ground state and transition state structures (GS1,TS,GS2) using the continues set of gauge transformations (CSGT) procedure at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level.
