[reaction: see text] The alcohol-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions of acrolein and benzaldehyde with Rawal's diene were evaluated with density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31G(d)). Several potential modes of catalysis with two methanol molecules were used to model catalysis by TADDOLs. In agreement with crystallographic data, cooperative catalysis with TADDOLs is predicted to be favorable.
[反应:见正文] 采用密度泛函理论(B3LYP/6-31G(d))评估了丙烯醛和苯甲醛与拉瓦尔二烯的醇催化狄尔斯-阿尔德反应。使用两个甲醇分子的几种潜在催化模式来模拟TADDOLs的催化作用。与晶体学数据一致,预计TADDOLs的协同催化是有利的。
