摘要

In this study, we employed Density Functional Theory (DFT) to analyze the Diels–Alder reaction between isomeric methylcyclopentadienes and (2E)-3-phenyl-2-nitroprop-2-enenitrile. Our computational approach focused on evaluating thermodynamic and kinetic parameters to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. The findings indicate that pathways leading to products with an endo-oriented nitro group proceed via a two-step mechanism involving a heterocyclic intermediate. Conversely, exo-oriented nitro group products are formed through a one-step, albeit asynchronous, mechanism. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanistic pathways in Diels–Alder reactions, offering valuable information for optimizing industrial processes and designing novel synthetic routes.
