Inversions in the periselectivity of formal aza-Diels–Alder cycloadditions between α-oxoketenes generated by a thermally-induced Wolff rearrangement and 1-azadienes were observed experimentally as a function of the α-oxoketene and the 1-azadiene, as well as the reaction temperature and time. Some unexpected inversion in the diastereoselectivity was observed, too. These variations in selectivities were fully rationalized by computational modeling using density functional theory (DFT) methods.

Density Functional Theory (DFT),at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level of theory and Moller-Plesse Theory (MP2/6-311G (d,p)) has been performed to study the mechanism, potential energy surface of the Diels-Alder reaction in the Synthesis of abietane diterpenes. The obtained results indicate that the reaction is concerted and synchronous processes. The transannular product is formed via a six-member ring transition state; yield of the endo product is higher. And finally, the enthalpie and activation energie of the reaction are given respectively. The reaction is exothermic,which accords well with experimental observation.

​The retro-Diels–Alder (rDA) reaction of partially saturated 2-pyrones were studied using density functional theory (DFT) calculations in polar and non-polar solvents, and fundamental descriptors were proposed to understand the electronic and solvent effect.

AbstractThe enantioselective oxa-Diels–Alder reaction of nonactivated substrates by utilizing FeCl3 and a 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derived chiral phosphoric acid as a multiple activation catalyst is reported. Various oxygen-containing six-membered heterocycles were obtained in high yields and in an enantioselective manner. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that both Lewis acidic and Brønsted acidic moieties in the catalyst system synergistically activate two lone pairs of an aldehyde to facilitate enantioselective addition reaction of dienes.
