Theoretical Analysis of the Mechanism and Regioselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar Cycloaddition of E-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(10H-phenothiazin-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one with Some Nitrilimines Using DFT and the Distortion/interaction Model

摘要

The regiochemistry of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of E-3-(dimethylamino)-1-(10H-phenothiazin-2-yl) prop-2-en-1-one with some nitrilimines were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) -based reactivity indexes, activation energy calculations and the distortion/interaction model at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Analysis of the geometries and bond orders (BOs) at the TS structures associated with the different reaction pathways shows that these 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions occur via an asynchronous concerted mechanism.
