Mechanistic investigation in the [1,4] and [1,2] Wittig rearrangement reactions: a DFT study
Literature Information
Shilpa R. Nath, Kaustubh A. Joshi
The mechanistic pathways for the [1,4] and [1,2] Wittig rearrangements of 2-silyl-6-aryl-5,6-dihydro-(2H)-pyrans have been studied at the M06-2X/6-31+G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p) and cc-pVTZ level of theory. The crucial C–O bond cleavage step in the mechanism has been analysed initially, using two model reactions covering aliphatic as well as cyclic allylic ethers. The barriers for the one-step as well as two-step pathways have been calculated and the mechanisms for both the [1,4] and [1,2] Wittig rearrangement reactions are predicted to occur through a two-step mode. An energetic analysis of the reaction pathways reveals that the [1,4]-rearrangement has a lower barrier than the [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement. The C–O cleavage transition state was found to have the highest barrier and is thus the rate determining transition state for all of the studied molecules. This is in agreement with the previously published experimental studies. The role of the allylic trimethylsilane group in the stabilization of the intermediate anions of the Wittig reactants has also been investigated while comparing it with the phenyl and allylic t-butyl groups through Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) calculations.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
