Hoye reported intramolecular hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reactions to generate arynes that functionalize natural product phenols and amines. In their studies, Hoye found that unsymmetrical tetraynes selectively form a single aryne. We report density functional theory (DFT) calculations that reveal the factors controlling the regioselectivity.
Hoye 报道了分子内十六氢-Diels-Alder (HDDA) 反应生成芳炔,芳炔可对天然产物苯酚和胺进行功能化。在他们的研究中,Hoye 发现不对称四炔选择性地形成单一芳炔。我们报告了密度泛函理论 (DFT) 计算,揭示了控制区域选择性的因素。
