Intra-molecular Diels–Alder (IMDA) reactions of tethered trienes can furnish two distinct diastereoisomeric products, the cis (i.e., endo) stereoisomer and the trans (i.e., exo) stereoisomer. Experimental evidence shows a quite high cis stereo-selectivity for 10-link compounds (cis/trans = 70:30), while 11- and 12-links compounds exhibit no particular selectivity. DFT (B3LYP/6-31G*) computations provide useful insights into the origins of this amazing stereo-selectivity. The cyclization path towards trans stereo-isomer is always thermodynamically favored, whatever the size of the system. The high cis stereo-selectivity displayed by the 10-link system is kinetically controlled by a tug-of-war between ring strain and electronic effects in the transition structure. The dual descriptor of chemical reactivity, a conceptual DFT based descriptor designed to delineate electronic effects, has been used to unravel the stabilizing processes that take place at the TSs.

AbstractWe report the results of a semiempirical PM3 study of the 1,4 cycloaddition reaction of substituted λ3-phosphabenzenes with alkynes. The influence of the nature, position and steric hindrance of substituents on the reaction energy is studied. Except for some values, the results are in reasonable agreement with experimental observations and electronic effects of substituents.
