For mechanism of decarboxylation reaction, all textbooks show that the electron moves from the pi<sub>C=O</sub> bond. However, the most donating bond orbital in the carbonyl group should be the lone pair(s) on the oxygen. Thus, a picture of orbital theory with delocalization from a lone pair should be more appropriate than that from the pi<sub>C=O</sub> orbital. We confirmed our idea by theoretical calculation. In the TS, if we use 2-substituted b-ketoacids, the boat-form conformation should result in exclusively preferred generation of <i>E</i>-enolates. Normally, decarboxylation reaction performs in polar solvent, so that the resulting enols should be transformed to the corresponding ketones by tautomerization. Suppose we use the heteroatoms to obtain the enolate or enol ethers without tautomerization, it would offer a diastereoselective enol(ate) synthesis with regioselectivity, since the C=C double bond should always be introduced between two carbonyl groups. After screening the heteroatoms by the theoretical calculations, we found that boron is suitable for this purpose. We confirmed our idea by theoretical calculations, offering a new boradecarboxylation reaction to produce enolates diastereoselecitively and regioselectively.

Donor Substituent

<p>The torquoselectivity, the inward or outward ring opening of 3-substituted cyclobutenes, is conventionally guided by the donor and/or acceptor ability of the substituent (S). It is typically predicted by estimating the respective ring opening transition state (TS) barriers. While there is no known dissent in regard to the outward rotation of electron-rich substituents from the approaches of TS calculations, the inward rotation was predicted for some electron-accepting substituents and outward for others. To address this divergence in predicting the torquoselectivity, we have used reliable orbital descriptors through natural bond orbital theoretical calculations and demonstrated that (a) interactions <i>n</i><i><sub>S</sub></i>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a lone pair containing substituent, s<sub>S</sub>→s*<sub>C3C4</sub> for a s-donor substituent, s<sub>C3C4</sub>→p*<sub>S</sub> for a resonance-accepting substituent and s<sub>C3C4</sub>→s*<sub>S</sub> for a s-acceptor substituent constitute the true electronic controls of torquoselectivity, and (b) reversibility of the ring opening event is an additional important contributor to the observed product distribution.</p>

Insight Into

In order to obtain a deeper insight into the title effect, several compounds with an F atom very close to a C-H of a nearby functional group were synthesized and the relevant couplings measured. The most conspicuous case was that of 8-fluoro-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde where a close proximity between the F and H atoms is the result of fluorine-oxygen repulsion and the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The experimental four-bond J(F,CHO) coupling is 26.2 Hz. A compound very similar to this one, but without the OH group, was chosen on which to perform a polarization propagator analysis of the through-space (TS) coupling pathways, at the RPA-INDO level. The expression for the TS coupling in terms of the projected polarization propagator and perturbators was numerically analysed. It is found that this coupling is completely dominated by a TS component of the Fermi contact (FC) term, the main features of which are: ( i ) It decays exponentially with the F-H distance; (ii) Its main contribution comes from an electron excitation involving the F lone-pair, the C-H bond of the CHO moiety and its corresponding antibonding orbital;(iii) The π-type lone-pair does not contribute to the TS coupling pathway of the FC term.

The theory of molecular and equivalent orbitals developed in previous papers of this series is used to discuss the spatial distribution of lone-pair electrons in molecules such as H 2 O and NH 3 and the part they play in determining the equilibrium configuration. Previous treatments of H 2 O have assumed that the lone pairs are essentially unaltered by molecular formation. It is shown here, on the other hand, that they will be displaced so as to be mainly concentrated on the side of the O-nucleus remote from the hydrogen atoms. An important consequence of this is that the lone-pair electrons will make a contribution to the total dipole moment. Comparison of the experimentally observed moment with an approximate quantitative treatment suggests that, as a result of this, transfer of electrons from the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen does not occur to the extent that has previously been believed. The variation of the spatial distribution of the orbitals of H 2 O with changes of nuclear configuration is examined and it is shown that, in the equilibrium position, the electronic structure can be described approximately by two sets of two equivalent orbitals pointing in nearly tetrahedral directions. The dependence of total energy on bond angle is discussed and it is shown that electrostatic repulsions between the equivalent orbitals are major factors in determining the equilibrium configuration. Similar considerations apply to NH 3 .

The Hel photoelectron spectra of 2-phenyloxirane, 2,2-diphenyloxirane, trans-2.3-diphenyloxirane, 2,2,3-triphenyloxirane, and 2,2,3,3-tetraphenyloxirane are reported. Comparison with the spectra of ethylene oxide (oxirane), benzene, and the following phenylethenes-styrene (1). I,1-diphenylethene (2), cis-stilbene (3), trans-stilbene (4), triphenylethene (5), and tetraphenylethene (6) - allowed to assign the lower ionization energies of the phenyloxiranes. Splitting of the lowest energy benzene π-orbitals is qualitatively the same in both classes of compounds. Because of the perpendicular orientation of the oxygen lone-pair in comparison to the π-electrons of the ethylene double bond this splitting is considerably smaller in phenyloxiranes.

By means of13C‒NMR spectroscopy and ab initio molecular orbital theory calculations, we have analyzed the bridge effect of the C=C, C=N and N=N bonds on the long distance charge transfer of4‒dimethylamino‒4'‒nitrostilbenoid compounds in the ground electronic state.After a complete spectral assignment of the13C‒NMR signals in these molecular compounds, we have characterized the effect of the nitrogen centres on the molecular bridge by means of the chemical shifts of the carbon centres, the theoretical charge densities and the dipolar moments.From an electronic molecular point of view, our results describe two main properties of the double bond bridge. The first is related to the local charge accumulation capacity given by the type of the atomic centres and the structural orientation of the double bond bridge, and the second property is related to the modulation of the electronic charge distribution through the molecular system by the electrical polarization of the bridge.Other complementary experimental evidences have permit us to establish new local molecular domains of the bridge effect in these stilbenoid compounds by means of linear correlations between13C‒NMR chemical shifts of the aromatic carbon centres of the acceptor‒phenyl group and the molecular polarity of the species under study.

A study of the electronic structures of A2Y4 molecules containing 34, 36, and 38 valence electrons has been made. An approximate VESCF, molecular- orbital method was used, attention being concentrated mainly on the delocalization of σ-electrons which are classically regarded as lone-pairs on the Y atoms. The results provide explanations of the main features of many of the observed AA- and AY-bond lengths and YAY-bond angles of N2O4, C2O42-, B2F4, B2Cl4, C2F4, C2Cl4, S2O42-, and N2F4. Other A2Y4 systems which have either not been fully characterized or not yet reported are also considered. The extent of lone-pair delocalization is shown to be governed by a parameter aσ, related to the coulomb and resonance parameters of H�ckel molecular-orbital theory. General trends in the value of aσ can be predicted from values of the core charges of A and Y towards the o-electrons concerned. A more detailed "adjacent charge" rule emerges. It differs from the classical rule in that for A2Y4 systems, adjacent negative formal charges on the A atoms should not very greatly affect the AA-bond properties. Difficulties were encountered in consistently interpreting the properties of some A2F4 and A2Cl4 compounds. These deserve further attention.
