Rate constants for the Michael addition of CN− in water, aqueous sulfolane, and DMSO, and MeO− in MeOH to eight mono- and disubstituted 1,1-diaryl-2,2-dinitroethylenes were measured. The ρ values are in the range 0.7 (CN−/H2O) –1.6 (MeO−/MeOH). For each of the four systems a correlation was found between log k and the 13C chemical shift of the carbon that undergoes the nucleophilic attack. However, the quality of the correlation as well as the slope decreases with decreasing ρ values. Analysis of the electronic configuration of the transition state using the curve crossing model shows that the traditional interpretation of the location of the transition state should be reversed. This analysis provides a rationale for the observed dependence of the chemical shift – rate correlation on the ρ value.

DFT studies on the activation mechanism of the Michael addition reactions containing bifunctional tertiary amine–thioureas and isatylidene malononitriles have been performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory.

As the first stage in the investigations of the mechanisms of action of carcinogenic lactones, the reactions of 4-hydroxypent-2-enoic acid lactone (II, R = CH3), which is a carcinogen, and of the non-carcinogenic 4-hydroxypent-3-enoic (III, R = CH3) and 4-hydroxypentanoic (IV, R = CH3) acid lactones with methylamine and benzylamine have been studied. As expected, the carcinogenic lactone reacts to give the Michael addition products, whereas both inactive lactones undergo ring opening by nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group. From the relative rates of reaction of the amines with the lactones it is concluded that the induction of tumors by II (R = CH3) does not involve alkylation of biological primary alkylamino groups. The proton magnetic resonance spectra of the products enable the different reaction pathways to be distinguished readily, and may provide the basis for rapid physicochemical screening of alkylation agents that are potential carcinogens.

Studies on the reactions of carcinogenic γ-lactones and related compounds with analogues of guanine DNA residues indicate that the lactones themselves will not effect permanent alkylation of the guanine N-7 position since the Michael addition reactions involved would be readily reversible. In contrast, the α,β-unsaturated acids resulting from hydrolysis of such lactones are effective guanine N-7 alkylating agents owing to zwitterionic stabilization of the corresponding Michael addition products.

A chiral M12L4 molecular tetrahedron (T) was synthesized by self-assembly of chiral cis-[(1S,2S)-dch]Pt(NO3)2 (M) with a hexadentate ligand (L) in 3 : 1 stoichiometric ratio. The cage T was found to catalyze the Michael addition reactions of series of nitrostyrene derivatives with indole in (9 : 1) water–methanol mixture.
