Abstract
Application of PMO treatment to 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-benzoyl-N-phenylnitrone with furan derivatives is described. Ionization potentials of 2-R-substituted furan derivatives (R = H, CH3, C2H5, CH2OH, CH2OCOCH3, C6H5, CHO) and 2,5-dimethylfurane representing experimental values of the HOMO energies have been determined from energies of the respective charge-transfer complexes with TCNE. Good correlation between IP and k2 rate constants indicates that the reaction is controlled by the LUMO(nitrone)/HOMO(furan deriv.) interaction. Electron affinities of the furan derivatives were determined from IP and energies of π-π* transitions using empirical equation ΔE(π-π*) = IP-EA-450.58 kJ mol-1.
