THEORETICAL-EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF CYCLES CATALYSED BY TRANSITION METALS. NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN AROMATICITY, DENSITY FUNCTIONAL AND SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Province of Girona (NUTS ES512); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 196,020; EU co-financing EUR 98,010 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2015-01-01 to 2017-12-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE CONSTRUCTION AND SYNTHESIS OF MOLECULAR ARCHITECTURES WITH HIGH COMPLEXITY AND HIGH ADDED VALUE USING SIMPLE STARTING PRODUCTS IS A MAJOR CHALLENGE IN ORGANIC SYNTHESIS. TRANSITION METAL CATALYSED CYCLES ARE VERY EFFICIENT PROCESSES FOR THIS PURPOSE AND ALLOW ACCESS TO A WIDE RANGE OF CARBO- AND HETEROCICLIC COMPOUNDS. HOWEVER, IN THESE REACTIONS THERE IS STILL A LIMITED UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACTORS THAT GOVERN THE SELECTIVITY OF THE PROCESS. IN THIS PROJECT WE PROPOSE TO IMPROVE THESE CATALITIC PROCESSES THROUGH THE COMBINATION AND SYNERGY BETWEEN THE EXPERIMENT AND THEORICAL CALCULATIONS, BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE APPLICANT GROUP ON BOTH SIDES. IN PARTICULAR, THE AIM IS TO ADDRESS COMPUTATIONAL AND METHODOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE ELECTRONIC AND ESTERIC EFFECTS THAT GOVERN THE REGIO- AND CHIMOSELECTIVITY OF THE CYCLOADDITIONS [2+ 2+ 2] OF THREE RHODIUM CATALYSED ALKYNOS. IN THIS TOPIC, WE ALSO INTEND TO INTRODUCE THE CONCEPT OF PSEUDO-INTRAMOLECULAR REACTIONS BASED ON THE INTERACTIONS OF THE STARTING SUBSTRATES THROUGH NON-COVALENT BONDS IN ORDER TO DIRECT THE QUIMIO- AND REGIOSELECTIVITY OF CICLOADICION. SECONDLY, WE WILL STUDY CYCLOADDITIONS [2+ 2+ 2] INVOLVING UNSATURATIONS OTHER THAN ALKYNOS. ON THE ONE HAND WE WILL DEPART FROM ALKENES 1,1-DISSUBSTITUTED, SUCH AS BAYLIS-HILLMAN ADDUCTS, TO OBTAIN CYCLODUCTS WITH ASYMMETRICAL QUATERNARY CARBONS. ON THE OTHER HAND WE WILL INVOLVE ALENES AS VERY VERSATILE SUBSTRATES IN CYCLES AND FINALLY FULLERENES AND NANOTUBES BOTH IN CYCLOADS [2+ 2+ 2] AND IN [2+ 2]. Finally WE WANT TO BELIEVE CABO COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES AND Methodology OF MEDIANT INTERMEDIATE RODIO CARBENOIDE GENERATE TOSILHIDRAZONS. Cycloadditions [2+ 2+ 2] OF THREE TRIPLE Isaturations catalysed by RODIO GENERAN AROMATIC AND HETEROAROMATIC PRODUCTS. ALTHOUGH IT REMAINS COMPLICATED TO GIVE AN ACCURATE DEFINITION OF AROMATICITY, THIS PROPERTY IS FUNDAMENTAL TO EXPLAIN MANY CHEMICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO THE STRUCTURE, PROPERTIES AND REACTIVITY OF [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
