Theoretical Study of the Diels-Alder Reaction in the Synthesis of Abietane Diterpenes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Density Functional Theory (DFT),at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level of theory and Moller-Plesse Theory (MP2/6-311G (d,p)) has been performed to study the mechanism, potential energy surface of the Diels-Alder reaction in the Synthesis of abietane diterpenes. The obtained results indicate that the reaction is concerted and synchronous processes. The transannular product is formed via a six-member ring transition state; yield of the endo product is higher. And finally, the enthalpie and activation energie of the reaction are given respectively. The reaction is exothermic,which accords well with experimental observation.
