We studied, with the RB3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method, the mechanism of peroxyformic acid epoxidation of norbornene, norbornadiene, tetramethylethene, and anti- and syn-sesquinorbornenes. The transition structures (TSs) for the reaction of tetramethylethene and norbornene show a perfect spiro geometry (the peroxy acid plane is perpendicular to the CdC bond axis) with synchronous bond formation.

Abstract

We studied, with the RB3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method, the mechanism of peroxyformic acid epoxidation of norbornene, norbornadiene, tetramethylethene, and anti- and syn-sesquinorbornenes. The transition structures (TSs) for the reaction of tetramethylethene and norbornene show a perfect spiro geometry (the peroxy acid plane is perpendicular to the CdC bond axis) with synchronous bond formation. Also three out of the four TSs of the norbornadiene reaction are spiro-like, but the highly asynchronous syn,endo-TS has a planar-like geometry

The Organic Chemistry/Polymer Science category includes resources concerned with the related fields of organic chemistry and polymer science. The organic chemistry resources deal with compounds of carbon with the exception of certain simple ones, such as the carbon oxides, carbonates, cyanides and cyanates (see Inorganic & Nuclear Chemistry). This category includes research on synthetic and natural organic compounds that may include other elements, such as hydrogen and oxygen, but also nitrogen, halogens, sulphur and phosphorous. Resources concerned with hydrocarbons, organic compounds containing only the elements carbon and hydrogen, are also included in this category. Examples are the alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatics, such as benzene and naphthalene. Polymer science includes all resources dealing with the study, production and technology of polymers, which are compounds composed of very large molecules made up of repeating molecular units (monomers). Polymers may be natural substances, such as polysaccharides or proteins, or synthetic materials, such as nylon or polyethylene.
