A mechanism of the interaction of benzoylacetylene with dithio- and diselenomalonamides has been proposed on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations in the framework of the density functional theory using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set taking into account solvent effects (AcOH) within the polarizable continuum model, PCM, with inclusion of the HCl molecule in the calculated space. It is shown that the reaction involves two stages to afford heterocyclic compounds of the dithiine and diselenine type

Optical absorption spectra of 1,2-naphthoquinone in non-polar (n-hexane) and polar (water) solvents were obtained. It is shown that the use of quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p)) with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for calculating 1,2-naphthoquinone in a solution of n-hexane and hydrogen complex of 1,2-naphthoquinone with two water molecules in an aqueous medium describes well the shifts of the absorption bands of 1,2-naphthoquinone in a water solution compared to a solution in n-hexane. Based on the analysis of deviations of the calculated band shifts from the experimental ones, the question of the formation of 1,2-naphthoquinone hydrogen complexes with n water molecules (n = 1-4) in an aqueous solution is considered.

The neutral hydrolysis mechanisms of a simple β-phospholactam with and without water-assisted reaction have been studied by using quantum chemical method at HF/6-31G**, MP2/6-31G** and B3LYP/6-31G** levels, respectively. The reaction can proceed by two different mechanisms: concerted and stepwise. There are two pathways in stepwise, i.e. pathway a and b, and the energy barriers of them are close. The energy barriers of water-assisted hydrolysis of β-phospholactam are obviously lower than those of no-water-assisted hydrolysis system. The energy barriers of stepwise mechanism are much lower than those of the concerted pathway in both cases. The solvent effects have been considered by means of a polarizable continuum model. The hydrolysis mechanism of β-phospholactam with that of the β-lactam and β-sultam was compared.
