Theoretical Investigation on TfOH Catalyzed Cascade Cyclization Reaction with Conjugated 1,5-Enyneto Construct Benzo[b]-Fluorenone and Benzo[de]Anthracen 7-One

Dr. Nan Lu 1 *

Our DFT calculation provided the first theoretical investigation on TfOH-mediated cascade cyclization from ethyl (E)-2-(2,3-diphenyl-1H-inden-1-ylidene)acetate. The triple bond was activated via protonation forming carbocation intermediate...

Theoretical Investigation on Lewis/Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Modulation of BCB Reactive Site in Synthesis of Spirocyclic and Bicyclic Framework

Dr. Nan Lu 1 *

Our DFT calculation provided the first theoretical investigation on Lewis/Brønsted acids-catalyzed syntheses of bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane and spirocyclic compound from disubstituted BCB and ester activated quinone. For [2π + 2σ] cycloaddition with...

Theoretical Investigation on Spiro-cyclisation of Maleimide and Sulfonamide Catalyzed by Pd(II) via Activated γ-C(sp3)−H to Spiro Pyrrolidine

Dr. Nan Lu 1 *

Our DFT calculation provided the first theoretical investigation on Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed spiro cyclisation of sulfonamide with maleimide. Initially, Pd(OAc)2 is coordinated with quinoline leading to first N-Pd bond. Subsequently, via coordination of...
