Frank K. Brown,Frank K. Brown,Laura Raimondi,Laura Raimondi,Yun-Dong Wu,Yun-Dong Wu,Kendall N. Houk,Kendall N. Houk +7 more
TL;DR: A force field model for nitrile oxide cycloadditions accounts for observed diastereoselectivities in inter-and intramolecular reactions controlled by steric factors.

Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical study of factors controlling rates of cyclization of radical intermediates from diallylamine and diallylammonium monomers in radical polymerizations.
TL;DR: Models formed by hydrogen atom addition to dienes 1-5 undergo five-membered ring cyclization reactions with activation energies predicted to be 7.2, 5.0, 8.6, 6.4, and 6.2 kcal/mol, respectively, are investigated by DFT theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambimodal Dipolar/Diels–Alder Cycloaddition Transition States Involving Proton Transfers
TL;DR: Quantum mechanical computations and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to elucidate the factors that control reaction outcomes in ambimodal transition states leading to both dipolar and Diels-Alder cycloaddition products, which can interconvert via α-ketol rearranged.

TL;DR: The re-cently reported solid-state topochemical polymerization/cyclization-aromatization strategy is exploited to convert the simple 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)butadiynes 3a,b into the fjord-edge nitrogen-doped graphene nanoribbon structures 1a, b (fjord -edge N2[8]GNRs).
