A detailed DFT study of the mechanism of metathesis of fluoroethene, 1-fluoroethene, 1,1-difluoroethene, cis- and trans-1,2-difluoroethene, tetrafluoroethene and chlorotrifluoroethene catalysed with the Hoveyda–Grubbs 2nd generation catalyst was performed. It revealed that a successful metathesis of hydrofluoroethenes is hampered by a high preference for a non-productive catalytic cycle proceeding through a ruthenacyclobutane intermediate bearing fluorines in positions 2 and 4. Moreover, the calculations showed that the cross-metathesis of perfluoro- or perhaloalkenes should be a feasible process and that the metathesis is not very sensitive to stereochemical issues.

A combined synthetic and computational (DFT) study has been performed to account for the divergent reactivity of indole-tethered ynones when treated with Ag(I) and Au(I) catalysts. The two catalyst systems deliver spirocyclic indolenines and carbazoles, respectively, from the same precursors, with the reaction outcomes believed to be a result of differences in the rates of a key protodemetalation step. A ring-opening/ring-closing isomerisation process is proposed to enable the interconversion of spirocyclic and C-2 annulated indole intermediates, in contrast to the 1,2-migration mechanism tentatively proposed in previous studies.

A computational study about the effect of BX3 (X = H, F, Cl and Br) interaction in C–H acidity enhancement of some aldehyde, ketone and imine molecules is performed by B3LYP/6- 311++G(d,p) method in gas phase. The boron derivatives of model molecules show more acidity in comparison with their pure forms. This acidity improvement is attributed to the effective interaction of the C = O/C = N group with the B atom of BX3. The acidity enhancement is according to the BBr3 >  BCl3 >  BF3 >  BH3 order which shows that boron compounds with electron withdrawing groups and especially BBr3 can be used as an effective and promising C–H activator in various organic reactions.
