The [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions of diphenyl nitrilimine and phenyl nitrile oxide with (R)-carvone have been studied within the Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT). Electron localisation function (ELF) analysis of these three-atom-components (TACs) permits its characterisation as carbenoid and zwitterionic TACs, thus having a different reactivity. The analysis of the conceptual Density Functional Theory (DFT) indices accounts for the very low polar character of these 32CA reactions, while analysis of the DFT energies accounts for the opposite chemoselectivity experimentally observed. Topological analysis of the ELF along the single bond formation makes it possible to characterise the mechanisms of these 32CA reactions as cb- and zw-type. The present MEDT study supports the proposed classification of 32CA reactions into pdr-, pmr-, cb- and zw-type, thus asserting MEDT as the theory able to explain chemical reactivity in Organic Chemistry.

Density Of Electrons

Characterization of materials infer for physical and chemical properties that depend on its molecular structure. Structure of molecule has its dependence on respective electrons of molecule under consideration occupying their positions that correspond to changes in density of electrons. Many theories of its kind were developed to study density of electrons with roots from wavefunction method and electron density method. Wavefunction method has its dependence with linear combination of atomic orbitals, Born approximation, variational principle ,potential energy surfaces for development of Huckel theory, Hartree fock self-consistent theory. Electron density method includes Ab-intio method and density functional theory is possible with Kohenberbg-Kohn existence theorem and Kohn Sham formalism. Density functional studies has diverted attention of researches for properties dependent on structure with use of quantum mechanical descriptors that influence chemical reactivity of molecule forming complexes with properties responsible for electrooptical activity. In the present work complexes with p-anisaldehyde were studied with set of anilines using Gaussian 16 package with B3LYP method. Studies in present work were analyzed from computed infrared spectra responsible for formation of complexes with shifts in wavenumbers; quantum mechanical descriptors for electronic properties. A feature of study is that complexes with p-nitroaniline have greater tendency influence on electronic properties responsible for electrooptical activity due to electrophilic nature.

Topological Description

The Jug and Gopinathan approach to the use of valency changes for the characterization of chemical reactions is generalized by incorporating it into the framework of the recently proposed topological description of chemical reactivity in terms of the overlap determinant method. The conclusions of the simple topological analysis agree with the results of the direct quantum chemical treatment, indicating thus that the overlap determinant method depicts correctly the principal features of the electron density reorganization occuring during the chemical reactions.

The selection rules in chemical reactivity are discussed from the point of view of the differences in the character of the electron density reorganisation in allowed and forbidden reactions. It was shown that the allowed reactions are characterized by the maximum conservation of electron pairing along the whole reaction path. On the other hand for the forbidden reactions a critical point lies on the corresponding concerted reaction coordinate in which one electron pair is completely splitted.

For the fungal metabolite citrinin, C13H14O5, the total experimental electron distribution ρ(r) and its Laplacian [Formula: see text] have been obtained from an extensive set (36 564 measurements) of single-crystal X-ray diffracted intensities at a temperature of 19 ± 2 K. Relevant steps in data collection and processing are reported. The resulting 7698 independent intensity data have been analysed with a multipole (pseudoatoms) formalism. The topological properties of ρ(r) have been determined according to the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. CC and CO bond path lengths have been obtained by numerical integration; their values are found to be well correlated with those of the electron density at the bond critical points. Topological features have been used to characterize the extension of the conjugated system of the molecule, and to confirm the stability of its rings, particularly the two formed by intramolecular H bonds. Maps of [Formula: see text] are presented, showing details in the valence charge distribution and providing a very sensitive tool for analysing dependence of the density on the model adopted to interpret X-ray data. The known chemical reactivity of the molecule towards nucleophiles at a Csp2 atom is confirmed by the shape of the molecular reactive surface (the zero envelope of [Formula: see text]). Key words: experimental electron density, low-temperature X-ray diffraction, topological analysis, Laplacian of ρ.

The regioselectvity and the mechanism of the (32CA) cycloadditions reactions of 1-bromo-4-vinylbenzene 1 and 1-chloro-4-vinylbenzene 2 with benzonitrile oxide 3 were investigated under the molecular electron density theory (MEDT) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) computational level. Evaluation of the ELF reveals that these zwitterionic type (zw-type) 32CA reactions take place in a two-stage one-step mechanism. This MEDT study shows that the meta isoxazolines are kinetically and thermodynamically favored over the ortho ones, these 32CA reactions being completely regioselective, in agreement with experimental outcomes. In addition, the efficiency of isoxazolines against SARS-CoV-2 have been also investigated. According to the docking analysis, the present study concludes that 5-(p-bromophenyl)-3-phenyl-2-isoxazoline (B-m) shows better interactions for the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 in comparison to chloroquine.
