[2+1] Cycloaddition reaction of α-atlantone with m-CPBA in the light of experimental and MEDT quantum-chemical study

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

The two diastereoisomers of 6-(3,4-epoxy-4-methylcyclohexyl)-2-methylhepta-2,5-dien-4-one were synthesized in the [2+1] cycloaddition reaction of α-atlantone, isolated compound from Cedrus atlantica essential oil, with m-chloroperbenzoic acid in CH2Cl2. The chemoselectivity of this cycloaddition reaction has been both experimentally and theoretically studied within the molecular electron density theory. Parr functions and electron localization function analysis of the reagents correctly predicted the experimental chemoselectivity with the most favorable interaction at C3'=C4' bond. These reactions follow a two-stage one-step mechanism.
