  1. Third Year Organic Chemistry Course CHM3A2 Frontier Molecular Orbitals and Pericyclic Reactions Part 2(ii): Cycloaddition Reactions Suprafacial HOMO – y2 LUMO – y2 Suprafacial Cycloaddition reactions are intermolecular pericyclic processes involving the formation of a ring from two independent conjugated systems through the formation of two new -bonds at the termini of the -systems. The reverse process is called cycloreversion or is referred to as a retro-reaction.

  2. – Learning Objectives Part 2(ii) – Cycloaddition Reactions CHM3A2 – Introduction to FMOs – • After completing PART 2(ii) of this course you should have an understanding of, and be able to demonstrate, the following terms, ideas and methods. • (i) A cycloaddition reaction involves the formation of two  bonds between the termini of two independent -systems, resulting in ring formation - or the reverse process. • (ii) Cycloaddition reactions are stereospecific (e.g. cis/trans isomers). The stereospecificity being afforded by the suprafacial or antarafacial nature of the approach of the two -units in the transition state. • (iii) The suprafacial or antarafacial process involved in the  bond making process is controlled by the HOMO/LUMO interactions of the two-systems in the transition state. • (v) Cycloaddition reactions can be regioselective. The regioselectivity cannot be predicted from the simple treatment given to frontier molecular orbitals in this course. However, generalisations can be made from looking at classes of substituents (C, Z, X) which are in conjugation with the -systems, which allow us to predict the regioselectivity in an empirical manner.

  18. The Diels-Alder Reaction: In Detail The Diels-Alder reaction is an extremely well studied cycloaddition reaction, The reason for this is that careful design of the diene component and the ene component (the dienophile) has led to a great insight into the reaction mechanism.

  31. – Summary Sheet Part 2(ii) – Cycloaddition Reactions CHM3A2 – Introduction to FMOs – Cycloaddition reactions are intermolecular pericyclic processes involving the formation of a ring from two independent conjugated systems through the formation of two new -bonds at the termini of the -systems. The reverse process is called cycloreversion or is referred to as a retro-reaction. By far the best known example of a cycloaddition is a Diels-Alder reaction. The reverse process is known as a retro-Diels-Alder reaction. Perhaps the simplest approach for assessing the feasibility of a particular cycloaddition uses frontier molecular orbital theory. In the concerted cycloaddition of two polyenes, bond formation at each terminus must be developed to some extent in the transition state. Thus, orbital overlap must occur simultaneously at both termini. For a low energy concerted process - an allowed reaction - to be possible, such simultaneous overlap must be geometrically feasible and must also be potential bonding. There are two stereochemically different ways in which new bonds can be formed – either to the same face of the -bond, i.e. in a suprafacial way, or to opposite faces, i.e. in an antarafacial way. The same definitions apply to longer  systems. Suprafacial, suprafacial (ss) approach of two polyenes is normally sterically suitable for efficient-orbital overlap. The vast majority of concerted additions involves the ss approach. However, this type of overlap will only be energetically favourable when the HOMO of one component and the LUMO of the other component can interact in a bonding fashion at both termini. Thus, these orbitals must be of the correct phase of symmetry. In the Diels-Alder reaction of a diene with a monoene, the HOMO and LUMO of each reactant are of the appropriate symmetry so that mixing of these orbitals will result in simultaneous potential bonding character between the terminal atoms. In contrast, a similar ss approach of two olefins does not lead to a stabilising interaction since the HOMO and LUMO are of incompatible phase for simultaneous bonding interaction to occur at both termini. Thus, the initial approach of reactants for a concerted ss addition is favourable for a Diels-Alder reaction - which is therefore an allowed process - but not for olefin dimerisation, which is therefore disallowed.

The difference in rates is a result of at least 2 factors. Factor 1: The HOMO of cyclopentadiene is raised relative to the HOMO of butadiene as a result of the bridging methylene units +I inductive effect, thus the energy difference between the diene HOMO and dieneophile LUMO is the least with cyclopentadiene, and results in the greatest HOMO/LUMO interaction (i.e. DE2<<DE1). Factor 2: Butadiene does not exist preferentially in the reactive cis conformation, thus the concentration of reactive conformations of butadiene is always low. Reactive Conformation In contrast, the bridging methylene unit in cyclopentadiene forces the diene moiety to exist exclusively in the reactive conformation. Reactive Conformation Locked
