A DFT study was carried out to investigate a zirconium-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes with N-silylated benzylamine. A global reactivity index (GRI) analysis showed that that substrates act as electrophiles while the active zirconaaziridine behaves as a nucleophile. Furthermore, the distortion/interaction analysis unveiled the role of the distortion and interaction energies in controlling the regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity when different alkene substrates are used. These results provide an in-depth analysis on how the substrate type influences the product selectivity.
采用密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了硅烷化苄胺与烯烃的锆催化氢氨基烷基化反应。全局反应性指数(GRI)分析表明,底物为亲电试剂,而活性的锆氮杂环丙烷为亲核试剂。此外,扭曲/相互作用分析揭示了在使用不同烯烃底物时,扭曲能和相互作用能在控制区域选择性和非对映选择性方面的作用。这些结果深入分析了底物类型如何影响产物选择性。
