摘要: We have computationally compared three Diels-Alder cycloadditions involving cyclopentadiene and substituted ethylenes; one of the reactions is synchronous, while others are slightly or highly asynchronous. Synchronicity weak asynchronicity characterized by reaction force constant κ(ξ) having just a single minimum in transition region along intrinsic coordinate ξ, for high has negative maximum with minima on both sides. The electron localization function (ELF) shows that features can be directly related to formation new C-C bonds between diene dienophile. There thus striking complementarity ELF; identifies key points ξ ELF describes what happening at those points.
