Ab initio and DFT calculations have been carried out to study the reaction mechanism between interferons (IFNs) ?-2a, ?-2b and ?-1a and polyethylene glycol (PEG) group. The calculations show that the mechanisms are concerted, in agreement with the results of experimental works. However, although it appears that there is one single transition state, the characteristics of its structure reveal a very synchronous reaction mechanism. The reactions are clearly exothermic and as well have feasible activation energies. Our computational study shows that the lowest transition state energies are related to Lys 134, His 34 and Met 1 of IFN-?-2a, IFN-?-2b and IFN-?-1a, respectively.

This work studies the reaction mechanism of triiodide ion (I3–) from iodine (I2) and iodide anion (I–), furthermore it investigates the thermodynamic preference of formation of I3– in three different solvents. Through DFT calculations and using the continuous polarizable model (PCM) it was possible to determine the reaction mechanism, as well as to show that the formation of the triiodide ion, from iodine and iodide, is favored in solvents of less polarity.

The reactions of an aluminium(I) reagent with a series of 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,5-dienes are reported. In the case of 1,3-dienes the reaction occurs by a pericyclic reaction mechanism, specifically a cheletropic cycloaddition, to form aluminocyclopentene containing products. This mechanism has been interrogated by stereochemical experiments and DFT calculations. The stereochemical experiments show that the (4+1) cycloaddition follows a suprafacial topology, while calculations support a concerted albeit asynchronous pathway in which the transition state demonstrates aromatic character. Remarkably, the substrate scope of the (4+1) cycloaddition includes dienes that are either in part, or entirely, contained within aromatic rings. In these cases, reactions occur with dearomatisation of the substrate and can be reversible. In the case of 1,2- or 1,5-dienes complementary reactivity is observed; the orthogonal nature of the C=C π-bonds (1,2-diene) and the homoconjugated system (1,5-diene) both disfavour a (4+1) cycloaddition. Rather, reaction pathways are determined by an initial (2+1) cycloaddition to form an aluminocyclopropane intermediate which can in turn undergo insertion of a further C=C π-bond leading to complex organometallic products that incorporate fused hydrocarbon rings.
