Fluorine atoms incorporated into 1,5-hexadiene molecule should influence the kinetic as well as the thermodynamic parameters of [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement (Cope rearrangement). Within few decades is has been documented that this transformation proceeds in a concerted manner, rather than stepwise with some radical intermediates involved. Few new terminally fluorinated 1,5-hexadienes (compounds 3, 5A, 7, 9 and 5B) have been synthesized. The activation parameters of rearrangement have been determined and compared with those known for hydrocarbon analogues. While systems developing chair-like transition states (compounds 3 and 5) showed close similarity with hydrocarbon analogues (compound 1), those developing boat-like transition states (compounds 7, 9 and 5B) may proceed through radical stepwise mechanism. Computational studies of the transition states were carried out, showing that only ab initio methods (MP2 and especially DFT) can give approximate correlation with experimental data, whereas in the case of hydrocarbon analogues even simple semiempirical methods (AM1) were reliable enough to reproduce experimental results.

A computational study of 5-substituted cyclopentadienes is presented. The substituents considered are the group 14–17 elements of the second through fifth periods, saturated by hydrogens as needed to fulfill normal valence requirements. The conformational characteristics are examined and rationalized using bond–antibond interactions and steric arguments. Trends in vibrational frequencies are discussed and compared with experiment where possible.Key words:cyclopentadiene, ab initio, spectra.

A phytochemical investigation of the crude chloroform bark extract of Neolitsea dealbata from Paluma, north Queensland, Australia, revealed the two common triterpenoids, taraxerone and taraxerol, as well as three furanogermacranolide sesquiterpenoids, linderadine, linderalactone, and pseudoneolinderane. These compounds are reported for the first time from this plant. An ab initio investigation (DFT, B3LYP/6-31G* and post HF, MP2/6-31G**) of the Cope rearrangement of linderalactone has been carried out.
