Nucleophilic Attacks on Maleic Anhydride: A Density Functional Theory Approach

  • Chapter
Density Functional Methods in Chemistry

Abstract

The reactivity of maleic anhydride with respect to nucleophiles is studied by using some concepts defined within density functional theory formalism. It is shown that the hard and soft acids and bases principle in a local approach, is useful for distinguish the reactivity of the two type of carbon atoms in the molecule.
