    Mechanistic insight of TiCl4catalyzed formal [3 + 3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with 1,3-dielectrophiles
    (London : RSC Publishing, 2015) Nisa, Riffat Un; Maria, Maria; Wasim, Fatima; Mahmood, Tariq; Ludwig, Ralf; Ayub, Khurshid
    The mechanism of TiCl4 mediated formal [3 + 3] cyclization of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) with 1,3-dielectrophiles is studied at the B3LYP level of density functional theory (DFT) to rationalize the experimental regioselectivity. Methyl and trifluoromethyl substituted 1,3 dielectrophiles are studied theoretically since they show different regioselectivities. Two different mechanisms involving 1,2 and 1,4 addition of 1,3-bis(silyl enol ethers) on 1,3-dielectrophiles are studied for each dienophile. The intramolecular transition metal catalyzed and non-catalyzed dynamic shift of the silyl moiety is also studied. The structure of the 1,3 dienophile and the associated Mulliken charges are the driving forces for different regioselectivities in methyl and trifluoromethyl dienophiles.
