Abstract

The captodative olefins 1-acetylvinyl esters of methacrylic and trans-crotonic acids, 3a and 3b, have been prepared. The presence of a second double bond in the molecule, acting as an internal probe, allowed us to compare their relative reactivity in Diels-Alder and Friedel-Crafts reactions. The reactivity was evaluated with cyclopentadiene (6) as diene in Diels-Alder cycloadditions, and with furan (9) and thiophene (10) as heteroaromatic Friedel-Crafts substrates. In both processes, the captodative enone double bond proved to be more reactive than that in the acrylic moiety. FMO theory accounted for this chemoselectivity as a consequence of the major n contribution of the enone to the LUMO of these molecules. The slight exo stereoselectivity observed in the cycloaddition to 6 parallels the higher stability of the corresponding transition state, according to the results of B3LYP/ 6-311G(d,p) calculations.

Resumo

As olefinas captodativas 3a e 3b derivadas dos ácidos metacrílico e trans-crotônico foram preparadas. A presença de uma segunda ligação dupla na molécula, atuando como marcador interno, permitiu-nos comparar sua reatividade relativa em reações de Diesl-Alder e Friedel-Crafts. A reatividade foi avaliada com ciclopentadieno (6) atuando como dieno em cicloadição Diels-Alder, e com furano (9) e tiofeno (10) como substratos heteroaromáticos Friedel-Crafts. Em ambos os processos, a ligação dupla da enona captodativa mostrou-se mais reativa que a do sistema acrílico. A teoria FMO considera essa quimiosseletividade como consequência da maior contribuição da enona ao orbital LUMO dessas moléculas. A pequena seletividade exo observada na cicloadição com 6 concorda com a maior estabilidade do estado de transição, de acordo com os resultados de cálculos B3LYP/6-311G(d,p).
