Abstract
Concerted cycloaddition reactions were studied by the method of intersecting parabolas (M3IP) and quantum chemical calculations. Experimental data were processed within the framework of the M3IP method and an algorithm for calculating the activation energies (E) and rate constants (k) for reactions from the enthalpies of reactions was developed. The parameters E and k for twelve cycloaddition reactions not studied previously were calculated. Factors affecting the activation energies were established and evaluated; these include the enthalpy of reaction, substituents, and the molecular structure of reactants. Quantum chemical modeling and topological analysis of transition states (TS) of six concerted cycloaddition reactions were performed. Depending on structure of the starting olefins, the TS of reactions can have either a symmetric or asymmetric geometry. This influences their electronic structures, the energies of chemical bonds, and the activation energies of reactions. A comparison of the activation energy values obtained from the M3IP and DFT(B3lyp/6-311++G** ) calculations revealed good agreement between them.
