What is On the Stability of the π-Allyl Intermediate in Molybdenum-catalyzed Asymmetric Alkylations about?
Density functional theory calculations were performed on the apparent g 3 -p-allyl molybdenum intermediate that is observed during molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric allylation [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. A. 2004, 101, 5379]. The relative stabilities of geometric isomers, diastereoisomers, and p-allyl rotamers of the p-allyl molybdenum intermediate were investigated. Calculations show that the observed intermediate is the most stable because of two factors: (1) the observed p-allyl molybdenum intermediate maximizes the bonding and back-bonding interactions between molybdenum and the p-allyl ligand; and (2) the observed p-allyl molybdenum intermediate minimizes the steric interactions between the chiral ligand and the p-allyl group.
