In this study, mechanism and stereochemistry of multicomponent domino Knoevenagel/Diels–Alder reaction were investigated theoretically. Structures of reagents, transition states, intermediates, and products were optimized at M062X/6-31[Formula: see text]G(d,p) level of theory. Although the mechanism of this reaction involved several processes, including bond rotation, isomerization, asymmetric cycloaddition, acid-base, and nucleophile–electrophile competitions, critical processes were studied to provide a clearer picture of the mechanism of this valuable reaction in terms of stereochemistry considerations. According to the results, the ring closure step of reaction performed via a polar Dield-Alder mechanism, having enthalpy at approximately 40[Formula: see text]kcal/mol. The diastereoselectivity of the reaction was controlled by the interaction of dienophile with the less hindered face of diene through a more stable endo transition state ([Formula: see text] and 27.31 in methanol and gas phase, respectively). HSAB criteria could explain the regioselectivity of this reaction by considering the least softness difference ([Formula: see text]) for interacting C-atoms based on Hirshfeld populations. The result was the creation of cis-spiro cyclohexanone under kinetic and thermodynamic controls as a predominant diastereoselective and regioselective product.

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>
