摘要
Acceleration of the electrocyclization of 1,3,5-hexatriene to 1,3-cyclohexadiene through early transition metal catalysis is investigated through quantum mechanical methods. The reaction proceeds in a non-pericyclic fashion involving two fundamental steps of catalysis (oxidative addition and reductive elimination), and the calculated acceleration effect is very large, up to 24 kcal mol(-1). Electrocyclization is highly dependent on the nature, formal oxidation state and coordination number of metal. Ligands are also predicted to show tremendous effect on the activation barrier of a reaction. Lowest activation energy is observed for [Nb(CHD)](+3) (5.63 kcal mol(-1)) where Nb is in its highest possible oxidation state i.e. +5. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
