โœฆ Synopsis


The halogen-catalyzed (I 2 , Br 2 , and Cl 2 ) Mukaiyama aldol (MA) reactions were investigated by ab initio MO calculations. The halogen-catalyzed MA reaction between a trihydrosilyl enol ether and formaldehyde favors a concerted pathway. In sharp contrast, the I 2 -catalyzed reaction between 1-phenyl-1-(trimethylsilyloxy)ethylene and benzaldehyde favors a stepwise mechanism. The nature of the substituent strongly influences the type of mechanism involved.

The double bond isomerization of butene catalyzed by 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ionic liquid has been examined by performing density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level. The stepwise H-migration pathway is compared with the concerted H-migration pathway proposed
