Ab initio studies of the acetylene bromoboration mechanism
2016
Dispersion-corrected B3LYP and CBS-MP2 studies of acetylene
bromoboration mechanism will be presented with an emphasis on
two reaction steps. First, possible mechanisms of the
stereoconversion of dibrom(2-bromvinyl) borane from its syn to
its anti isomer will be discussed in terms of an interaction
between the syn isomer and HBr. The presence of HBr in the
reaction mixture is unavoidable under standard experimental
setup and enables an alternative mechanism of alkyne
haloboration to that explored theoretically by Wang and
Uchyiama [1]. Second, a possible direct generation of anti
isomer of dibrom(2-bromvinyl) borane from acetylene and BBr 3
via an interaction with HBr will be discussed. Gas phase
results will be compared to the implicit solvent ones in order
to asess the impact of solvation on the reaction mechanism.
