Journal Article
The origin of selectivity in the trimerization of 1,3-cyclopentadiene from an activation strain perspective
2024
Overview
Context
Quantum chemical modeling (DFT-PBE0/cc-pVTZ) of the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction of 1,3-cyclopentadiene (CPD) to (exo/endo)-dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) was carried out, resulting in 14 products—CPD trimers. According to calculations, exo-addition of CPD to the norbornene (NB) fragment of DCPD and trans-addition of CPD to the cyclopentene (CP) fragment of DCPD are kinetically preferred. Ring strain energies

were calculated for all trimers using the homodesmotic reaction approach. The least strained trimers are formed by exo-addition of CPD to the NB fragment of exo-DCPD, while the most strained ones are formed by endo-addition of CPD to the NB fragment of endo-DCPD.

values are in good agreement with thermodynamic stability of trimers. Analysis of activation energy using the activation strain model showed steric effects causing deformation of the DCPD molecule upon reaching the transition state to be the leading factor of the magnitude of the cycloaddition reaction activation barrier. Deformation of the DCPD molecule mostly occurs in two dihedral angles—the angle of escape of H atoms from the plane of the double bond involved in cycloaddition and the angle between the NB and CP fragments. The sum of deviations of these angles in the transition states (or products) structures is in good agreement with Gibbs activation energies of cycloaddition reactions of CPD to DCPD.
Methods
Quantum chemical calculations were carried out using density functional theory in Gaussian 09 software. Hybrid exchange–correlation PBE0 functional was used with cc-pVTZ basis set.
