Abstract
High-throughput experimentation (HTE) has the potential to improve our understanding of organic chemistry by systematically interrogating reactivity across diverse chemical spaces. Notable bottlenecks include few publicly available large-scale datasets and the need for facile interpretation of these data's hidden chemical insights. Here we report the development of a high-throughput experimentation analyser, a robust and statistically rigorous framework, which is applicable to any HTE dataset regardless of size, scope or target reaction outcome, which yields interpretable correlations between starting material(s), reagents and outcomes. We improve the HTE data landscape with the disclosure of 39,000+ previously proprietary HTE reactions that cover a breadth of chemistry, including cross-coupling reactions and chiral salt resolutions. The high-throughput experimentation analyser was validated on cross-coupling and hydrogenation datasets, showcasing the elucidation of statistically significant hidden relationships between reaction components and outcomes, as well as highlighting areas of dataset bias and the specific reaction spaces that necessitate further investigation.

[PMID: 38020014 PMCID: PMC10653035 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05286a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
This paper evaluates the electronic effects of molecular substituents on the stereoselectivity of the umpolung Staudinger catalytic reaction. This is especially important because experimental studies on constructing the β-lactam ring, a core structure of most antibiotics, through catalyzed Staudinger reactions have been massively progressing over the last century. Yet, there is a necessity for an in-depth understanding of the reaction mechanisms to help chemists, working on the well-established discoveries, improve these to optimize the stereoselectivity and yield of synthetic methods. Access to practical and effective advancements in forming optically pure β-lactam is paramount in the field of medical chemistry. This paper specifically investigates how changing the N-protecting group in the imine fragment can switch the stereoselectivity of the PPY-catalyzed Staudinger reaction. To do so, we employed the density functional theory (DFT) for geometry optimization and electronic analysis at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory to examine and compare the role of N-tosyl (N-Ts) and N-triflyl (N-Tf) imine on the mechanism pathways, i.e., imine-first or ketene-first, and stereochemistry of the reaction, i.e., cis or trans β-lactam. Our results show that the reaction mechanism pathway cannot be simply switched from ketene-first to imine-first by changing the substituent on the imine nitrogen atom, which is contrary to the reported experimental results, and both imines go through the ketene-first mechanism with different stereochemistries, which is cis selective for imine-Ts and trans selective for imine-Tf. Based on electronic analyses, the reversal in diastereoselectivity in the N-triflyl imine system could be attributed to the charge transfers and electron-density distribution over the transition states. Therefore, the cis/trans selectivity of the PPY-catalyzed Staudinger reaction could be effectively controlled by the electronic characteristics of the molecular substituents in the reactants. A N-protecting group in imine with a more electron-withdrawing nature seems to accelerate the stereo-determining step, ring closure, and increase the stabilization charge transfers in the transition state, leading to a preference for trans β-lactam formation. It seems that using a N-substituent with a higher electron-withdrawing nature can initially activate the imine by the nucleophilic catalyst in competition with ketene, i.e., imine-first versus ketene-first. These results can provide an insight into select proper substituents for the fragments to synthesis β-lactam with a desired stereochemistry. Also, a comprehensive comparison was performed between calculations with and without dispersion.

Abstract
To enrich and enhance the diversity of the quest database of highly accurate excitation energies [Véril, M.; et al. Wiley Interdiscip. Rev.: Comput. Mol. Sci. 2021, 11, e1517], we report vertical transition energies in transition metal compounds. Eleven diatomic molecules with a singlet or doublet ground state containing a fourth-row transition metal (CuCl, CuF, CuH, ScF, ScH, ScO, ScS, TiN, ZnH, ZnO, and ZnS) are considered, and the corresponding excitation energies are computed using high-level coupled-cluster (CC) methods, namely, CC3, CCSDT, CC4, and CCSDTQ, as well as multiconfigurational methods such as CASPT2 and NEVPT2. In many cases, to provide more comprehensive benchmark data, we also provide full configuration interaction estimates computed with the configuration interaction using a perturbative selection made iteratively (CIPSI) method. Based on these calculations, theoretical best estimates of the transition energies are established in both the aug-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. This allows us to accurately assess the performance of the CC and multiconfigurational methods for this specific set of challenging transitions. Furthermore, comparisons with experimental data and previous theoretical results are also reported.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations have been used in the development of synthetic methodologies to analyze the reaction mechanisms of the developed reactions. Their ability to estimate chemical reaction pathways, including transition state energies and connected equilibria, has led researchers to embrace their use in predicting unknown reactions. This perspective highlights strategies that leverage quantum chemical calculations for the prediction of reactions in the discovery of new methodologies. Selected examples demonstrate how computation has driven the development of unknown reactions, catalyst design, and the exploration of synthetic routes to complex molecules prior to often laborious, costly, and time-consuming experimental investigations.

Abstract
Catalyst design has traditionally focused on rigid structural elements to prevent conformational flexibility. Ishihara's elegant design of conformationally flexible C2-symmetric iodoarenes, a new class of privileged organocatalysts, for the catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) of naphthols is a notable exception. Despite the widespread use of the Ishihara catalysts for CADAs, the reaction mechanism remains the subject of debate, and the mode of asymmetric induction has not been well established. Here, we report an in-depth computational investigation of three possible mechanisms in the literature. Our results, however, reveal that this reaction is best rationalized by a fourth mechanism called "proton-transfer-coupled-dearomatization (PTCD)", which is predicted to be strongly favored over other competing pathways. The PTCD mechanism is consistent with a control experiment and further validated by applying it to rationalize the enantioselectivities. Oxidation of the flexible I(I) catalyst to catalytic active I(III) species induces a defined C2-symmetric helical chiral environment with a delicate balance between flexibility and rigidity. A match/mismatch effect between the active catalyst and the substrate's helical shape in the dearomatization transition states was observed. The helical shape match allows the active catalyst to adapt its conformation to maximize attractive noncovalent interactions, including I(III)···O halogen bond, N-H···O hydrogen bond, and π···π stacking, to stabilize the favored transition state. A stereochemical model capable of rationalizing the effect of catalyst structural variation on the enantioselectivities is developed. The present study enriches our understanding of how flexible catalysts achieve high stereoinduction and may serve as an inspiration for the future exploration of conformational flexibility for new catalyst designs.

Abstract
Exploration of the chemical reaction space of chemical transformations in multicomponent mixtures is one of the main challenges in contemporary computational chemistry. To remove expert bias from mechanistic studies and to discover new chemistries, an automated graph-theoretical methodology is proposed, which puts forward a network formalism of homogeneous catalysis reactions and utilizes a network analysis tool for mechanistic studies. The method can be used for analyzing trajectories with single and multiple catalytic species and can provide unique conformers of catalysts including multinuclear catalyst clusters along with other catalytic mixture components. The presented three-step approach has the integrated ability to handle multicomponent catalytic systems of arbitrary complexity (mixtures of reactants, catalyst precursors, ligands, additives, and solvents). It is not limited to predefined chemical rules, does not require prealignment of reaction mixture components consistent with a reaction coordinate, and is not agnostic to the chemical nature of transformations. Conformer exploration, reactive event identification, and reaction network analysis are the main steps taken for identifying the pathways in catalytic systems given the starting precatalytic reaction mixture as the input. Such a methodology allows us to efficiently explore catalytic systems in realistic conditions for either previously observed or completely unknown reactive events in the context of a network representing different intermediates. Our workflow for the catalytic reaction space exploration exclusively focuses on the identification of thermodynamically feasible conversion channels, representative of the (secondary) catalyst deactivation or inhibition paths, which are usually most difficult to anticipate based solely on expert chemical knowledge. Thus, the expert bias is sought to be removed at all steps, and the chemical intuition is limited to the choice of the thermodynamic constraint imposed by the applicable experimental conditions in terms of threshold energy values for allowed transformations. The capabilities of the proposed methodology have been tested by exploring the reactivity of Mn complexes relevant for catalytic hydrogenation chemistry to verify previously postulated activation mechanisms and unravel unexpected reaction channels relevant to rare deactivation events.

Abstract
Cooperative dual catalysis is a powerful strategy for achieving unique reactivity by combining catalysts with orthogonal modes of action. This approach allows for independent control of the absolute and relative stereochemistry of the product. Despite its potential utility, the combination of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis has remained a formidable challenge as NHCs readily coordinate metal centers. This characteristic also makes it difficult to rationalize or predict the stereochemical outcomes of these reactions. Herein, we use quantum mechanical calculations to investigate formation of γ-butyrolactones from aldehydes and allyl cyclic carbonates by means of an NHC organocatalyst and an iridium catalyst. Stereoconvergent activation of the racemic allyl cyclic carbonate forms an Ir-π-allyl intermediate and activation of an unsaturated aldehyde forms an NHC enolate, the latter of which is rate-limiting. Union of the two fragments leads to stereodetermining C-C bond formation and ultimately ring closure to generate the product lactone. Notably, CO2 loss occurs after formation of the C-C bond and Et3NH+ plays a key role in stabilizing carboxylate intermediates and in facilitating proton transfer to form the NHC enolate. The computed pathways agree with the experimental findings in terms of the absolute configuration, the enantiomer excess, and the different diastereomers seen with the (R)- and (S)-spiro-phosphoramidite combined with the NHC catalyst. Calculations reveal the lowest energy pathway includes both an NHC ligand and a phosphoramidite ligand on the iridium center. However, the stereochemical features of this Ir-bound NHC were found to not contribute to the selectivity of the process.

Abstract
A thorough DFT study was performed to unravel the true mechanism involved in the Pd(0)-catalyzed functional group transposition between aroyl chlorides and aryl iodides. Two different experimental groups proposed different mechanisms for the functional group transposition reaction. A careful assessment of experimental findings and thorough computational studies endorsed that the functional group transposition proceeds via phosphonium salt formation and ligand-enabled C-P bond metathesis, leading to the formation of the PhI and the intermediate 2. After the formation of the intermediate 2, the transposition of functional groups takes place through the interpalladium ligand exchange mechanism, where two palladium centers act as shuttle catalysts. In short, both C-P bond metathesis and interpalladium ligand exchange steps are crucial in the functional group transposition mechanism.

Abstract
Previously, we developed a rhodium-catalyzed [5 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition of ene-vinylcyclopropanes (ene-VCPs) and carbon monoxide to synthesize eight-membered carbocycles. The efficiency of this reaction can be appreciated from its application in the synthesis of several natural products. Herein we report the results of a 15-year investigation into the mechanism of the [5 + 2 + 1] cycloaddition by applying visual kinetic analysis and high-level quantum chemical calculations at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)//BMK level. According to the kinetic measurements, the resting state of the catalyst possesses a dimeric structure (with two rhodium centers) whereas the active catalytic species is monomeric (with one rhodium center). The catalytic cycle consists of cyclopropane cleavage (the turnover-limiting step), alkene insertion, CO insertion, reductive elimination, and catalyst transfer steps. Other reaction pathways have also been considered but then have been ruled out. The steric origin of the diastereoselectivity (cis versus trans) was revealed by comparing the alkene insertion transition states. In addition, how the double-bond configuration of the VCPs (Z versus E) affects the substrate reactivity and the origins of chemoselectivity ([5 + 2 + 1] versus [5 + 2]) were also investigated. The present study will provide assistance in understanding other carbonylative annulations catalyzed by transition metals.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysts play a vital role in a wide range of industrial organic processes. The large-scale production of chemicals relying on catalyzed organic reactions represents a sustainable approach to supply society with end products for many daily life applications. Homogeneous (mainly for academic uses) and heterogeneous (crucial in industrial processes) metal-based catalysts have been developed for a plethora of organic reactions. The search for more sustainable strategies has led to the development of a countless number of metal-supported catalysts, nanosystems, and electrochemical and photochemical catalysts. In this work, although a vast number of transition metals can be used in this context, special attention is devoted to Ir- and Pd-based catalysts in the industrial manufacture of pharmaceutical drugs. Pd is by far the most widely used and versatile catalyst not only in academia but also in industry. Moreover, Ir-based complexes have emerged as attractive catalysts, particularly in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Ir- and Pd-based asymmetric reductions, aminations, cross-coupling reactions, and C–H activation are covered herein in the production of biologically active compounds or precursors; adaptation to bulk conditions is particularly highlighted.

Abstract
The reactions of amide functionalized bisphosphine o-Ph2PC6H4C(O)N(H)C6H4PPh2-o (1) with platinum salts are described. Treatment of 1 with [Pt(COD)Cl2] yielded a chelate complex, [PtCl2{o-Ph2PC6H4C(O)N(H)C6H4PPh2-o}κ2-P,P] (2), which on subsequent treatment with LiHMDS formed a novel 1,2-azaphospholene-phosphine complex [Pt(C6H5)Cl{o-C6H4{C(O)N(o-PPh2(C6H4))P(Ph)}}κ2-P,P] (3) involving a tandem P-C bond cleavage and P-N bond formation. The same complex 3 on passing dry HCl gas afforded the dichloro complex [PtCl2{o-C6H4{C(O)N(o-PPh2(C6H4))P(Ph)}}κ2-P,P] (5). Complex 2 upon refluxing in toluene or treatment of 1 with [Pt(COD)Cl2] in the presence of a base at room temperature resulted in the pincer complex [PtCl{o-Ph2PC6H4C(O)N(C6H4PPh2-o)}κ3-P,N,P] (4). Reaction of 1 with [Pt(COD)ClMe] at room temperature also afforded the pincer complex [PtMe{o-Ph2PC6H4C(O)N(C6H4PPh2-o)}κ3-P,N,P] (6). Mechanistic studies on 1,2-azaphospholene formation showed the reductive elimination of LiCl to form a phosphonium salt that readily adds one of the P-C bonds oxidatively to the in situ generated Pt0 species to form a chelate complex 3. The analogous palladium complex [PdCl2{o-C6H4{C(O)N(o-PPh2(C6H4))P(Ph)}}κ2-P,P] (7) showed excellent catalytic activity toward N-alkylation of amines with alcohols with a very low catalyst loading (0.05 mol %), and the methodology is very efficient toward the gram-scale synthesis of many N-alkylated amines.

Abstract
AbstractIn this short review, we provide an account of a number of computational studies of catalytic reaction mechanisms carried out in our groups. We focus in particular on studies in which we came to realize during the course of the investigation that the active catalytic species was a bimetallic complex, rather a monometallic one as previously assumed. In some cases, this realization was in part prompted by experimental observations, but careful exploration based on computation of the speciation of the metal precursor also provided a powerful guide: it is often possible to predict that bimetallic species (intermediates or transition states) lie lower in free energy than a priori competitive monometallic species. In this sense, we argue that in organometallic catalysis, the rule whereby “two is better than one” turns out to be relevant much more often than one might expect.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the landscape of molecular synthesis has gained major impetus by the introduction of late-stage functionalization (LSF) methodologies. C-H functionalization approaches, particularly, set the stage for new retrosynthetic disconnections, while leading to improvements in resource economy. A variety of innovative techniques have been successfully applied to the C-H diversification of pharmaceuticals, and these key developments have enabled medicinal chemists to integrate LSF strategies in their drug discovery programmes. This Review highlights the significant advances achieved in the late-stage C-H functionalization of drugs and drug-like compounds, and showcases how the implementation of these modern strategies allows increased efficiency in the drug discovery process. Representative examples are examined and classified by mechanistic patterns involving directed or innate C-H functionalization, as well as emerging reaction manifolds, such as electrosynthesis and biocatalysis, among others. Structurally complex bioactive entities beyond small molecules are also covered, including diversification in the new modalities sphere. The challenges and limitations of current LSF methods are critically assessed, and avenues for future improvements of this rapidly expanding field are discussed. We, hereby, aim to provide a toolbox for chemists in academia as well as industrial practitioners, and introduce guiding principles for the application of LSF strategies to access new molecules of interest.

Abstract
The design of heterogeneous catalysts relies on understanding the fundamental surface kinetics that controls catalyst performance, and microkinetic modeling is a tool that can help the researcher in streamlining the process of catalyst design. Microkinetic modeling is used to identify critical reaction intermediates and rate-determining elementary reactions, thereby providing vital information for designing an improved catalyst. In this review, we summarize general procedures for developing microkinetic models using reaction kinetics parameters obtained from experimental data, theoretical correlations, and quantum chemical calculations. We examine the methods required to ensure the thermodynamic consistency of the microkinetic model. We describe procedures required for parameter adjustments to account for the heterogeneity of the catalyst and the inherent errors in parameter estimation. We discuss the analysis of microkinetic models to determine the rate-determining reactions using the degree of rate control and reversibility of each elementary reaction. We introduce incorporation of Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi relations and scaling relations in microkinetic models and the effects of these relations on catalytic performance and formation of volcano curves are discussed. We review the analysis of reaction schemes in terms of the maximum rate of elementary reactions, and we outline a procedure to identify kinetically significant transition states and adsorbed intermediates. We explore the application of generalized rate expressions for the prediction of optimal binding energies of important surface intermediates and to estimate the extent of potential rate improvement. We also explore the application of microkinetic modeling in homogeneous catalysis, electro-catalysis, and transient reaction kinetics. We conclude by highlighting the challenges and opportunities in the application of microkinetic modeling for catalyst design.

Abstract
Amino-thiourea organocatalysis is an important catalytic process for enantioselective conjugate addition reactions. The interaction of the reactants with the catalyst has a substantial effect of dispersion forces and is a challenge for a reliable description when applying density functional theory. In this report, the classical addition of acetylacetone to β-nitro-styrene catalyzed by Takemoto's catalyst in toluene was studied using the PBE functional for geometry optimization and the DLPNO-CCSD(T) benchmark method for single point energy. The complete free energy profile calculated for the reaction was able to explain all experimental observations, including the fact that the carbon-carbon bond formation step is rate-determining. The overall barrier was calculated to be 22.8 kcal mol-1 (experimental value approximately 20 kcal mol-1), and the enantiomeric excess was calculated to be 88% (experimental value in the range of 84 to 92%). Some functionals were tested for single point energy. The hybrid B3LYP presented a high mean absolute deviation (MAD) from the DLPNO-CCSD(T) benchmark method by approximately 20 kcal mol-1. The inclusion of empirical dispersion correction in the B3LYP method decreased the MAD to 6 kcal mol-1. Even the double-hybrid mPW2-PLYP and B2GP-PLYP methods had MAD values of approximately 5 kcal mol-1. The inclusion of the dispersion correction decreased the MAD to 3.6 kcal mol-1. M06-2X and ωB97X-D3 were the most accurate among the tested functionals, with MADs of 2.5 kcal mol-1 and 1.8 kcal mol-1, respectively. Additivity approximation of the correlation energy was also tested and presented a MAD of only 0.6 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
Electron nuclear dynamics (END) is an ab initio quantum dynamics method that adopts a time-dependent, variational, direct, and non-adiabatic approach. The simplest-level (SL) END (SLEND) version employs a classical mechanics description for nuclei and a Thouless single-determinantal wave function for electrons. A higher-level END version, END/Kohn-Sham density functional theory, improves the electron correlation description of SLEND. While both versions can simulate various types of chemical reactions, they have difficulties to simulate scattering/capture of electrons to/from the continuum due to their reliance on localized Slater-type basis functions. To properly describe those processes, we formulate END with plane waves (PWs, END/PW), basis functions able to represent both bound and unbound electrons. As extra benefits, PWs also afford fast algorithms to simulate periodic systems, parametric independence from nuclear positions and momenta, and elimination of basis set linear dependencies and orthogonalization procedures. We obtain the END/PW formalism by extending the Thouless wave function and associated electron density to periodic systems, expressing the energy terms as functionals of the latter entities, and deriving the energy gradients with respect to nuclear and electronic variables. END/ PW has a great potential to simulate electron processes in both periodic (crystal) and aperiodic (molecular) systems (the latter in a supercell approach). Following previous END studies, END/PW will be applied to electron scattering processes in proton cancer therapy reactions.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of cis-disubstituted cyclopropanes by the Au(I)/PPh3-catalyzed cycloaddition of propargylic esters and styrene has been studied using density functional theory calculations. The computed mechanistic scheme involves the rate-limiting 1,2-rearrangement of the propargylic ester with the π-coordinated gold complex, followed by the (2 + 1)-cheletropic reaction of styrene with the alkenyl-Au(I) carbene intermediate to afford the cis-disubstituted cyclopropane derivative in a high cis/trans diastereomeric ratio. With a ( R)-di-chloro,di-gold-DTBM-SEGPHOS complex as the catalyst, computations are consistent with a rate-determining (2 + 1)-cheletropic reaction, in which facial discrimination is proposed to result from a combination of subtle steric and electronic effects in the SiRe facial approach transition structure, which favor the formation of the cis-cyclopropane diastereomer of 1 R,2 S absolute configuration, as experimentally observed.

Abstract
Increasing use of two chiral catalysts in cooperative asymmetric catalysis in recent years raises some fundamental questions on chiral compatibility between the catalysts, modes of activation, and relative disposition of substrates within the chiral environment of the catalysts for effective asymmetric induction. We present molecular insights into a one-pot catalytic Michael reaction cascade between a dicarbonyl compound (7-oxo-7-phenylhept-5-enal) and nitrostyrene, catalyzed by two chiral organocatalysts (proline and cinchona-thiourea), leading to a densely functionalized tetra-substituted cyclohexane product. The density functional theory (SMD(toluene)/M06-2X/6-31G**) computations helped us identify the role of the organocatalytic catalytic dyad in providing a lower energy pathway. The covalent activation of the aldehydic end by (S)-proline results in an enamine, which then adds to the noncovalently activated nitrostyrene in the first Michael addition to give a nitronate anion. The configuration at two of the four chiral centers of the product gets fixed in this step whereas that of the remaining two is determined by intramolecular cyclization between the nitronate and the enone. Important mechanistic features such as (a) a lower energy pathway as compared to a proline-only route for the formation of the syn-enamine and its participation in the first Michael addition and (b) the origin of the preferred prochiral faces in the C-C bond formation are traced to the active involvement of the cinchona-thiourea catalyst in conjunction with proline in each step of the reaction. The true cooperative action by both the catalysts is identified as enabled by a network of hydrogen bonding, and π···π stacking between the aryl ring of the cinchona-thiourea catalyst as well as other noncovalent interactions between the catalysts themselves, and that between the catalysts and substrate.

Abstract
Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are extensively employed in both academia and industry for the synthesis of biaryl derivatives for applications to both medicine and material science. Application of these methods to prepare tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls leads to chiral atropisomeric products that introduces the opportunity to use catalyst-control to develop asymmetric cross-coupling procedures to access these important compounds. Asymmetric Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions to form tetra-ortho-substituted biaryls were studied employing a collection of P-chiral dihydrobenzooxaphosphole (BOP) and dihydrobenzoazaphosphole (BAP) ligands. Enantioselectivities of up to 95:5 and 85:15 er were identified for the Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions, respectively. Unique ligands for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction vs the Negishi reaction were identified. A computational study on these Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling reactions enabled an understanding in the differences between the enantiodiscriminating events between these two cross-coupling reactions. These results support that enantioselectivity in the Negishi reaction results from the reductive elimination step, whereas all steps in the Suzuki-Miyaura catalytic cycle contribute to the overall enantioselection with transmetalation and reductive elimination providing the most contribution to the observed selectivities.

Abstract
Tobacco-specific N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), a genotoxic nitrosamine classified as Group 1 carcinogen, is also present in atmospheric particulate matter and has even been detected as a new disinfection byproduct in wastewaters. NNN generally requires metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes to exert its genotoxicity, but the respective biotransformation pathways have not been described in detail. In this work, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to unravel possible NNN activation pathways including α-hydroxylation, β-hydroxylation, pyridine N-oxidation, and norcotinine formation. The results reveal an initial rate-determining Hα-atom abstraction step for α-hydroxylation, followed by an unexpected kinetic competition between denitrosation and OH rebound, leading to ( iso-)myosmine as a detoxified product and α-hydroxyNNNs as the precursor of carcinogenic diazohydroxides, respectively. Further detoxification routes are given by β-hydroxylation with relative high reaction barrier and N-oxidation with comparable barrier to the toxifying α-hydroxylation. Moreover, we show for the first time how norcotinine can be generated as a minor NNN metabolite that is formed from iso-myosmine through a unique porphyrin-assisted H atom 1,2-transfer mechanism. These results demonstrate that the carcinogenic potential of NNN is subject to a kinetic competition between activating and deactivating metabolic routes, and identify respective biomarkers to inform about the individual risk associated with NNN exposure.

Abstract
In this work, we report an energy decomposition and electronic structure analysis using DFT calculations for the C-C coupling step in the Henry reaction with cinchona thiourea as catalyst and DMF solvent to unravel the origin of enantioselectivity. We found that the conformation of flexible thiourea moiety is affected by the solvent, and in the preferred conformation of thiourea in strong Lewis basic DMF solvent, the N-H sites are in the opposite direction, i.e., in trans conformation. Hence, the thiourea moiety acts via single hydrogen bonding with substrates. The conformation of the substrates with respect to the forming C-C bond plays critical role to increase orbital interaction between two substrates and enhances hydrogen bond strength between substrates and catalyst, which in turn stabilizes the positive charge developing on the catalyst at the transition state for one of the enantiomers ( S). Thus, the enantioselectivity has electronic structure origin. The stronger H-bond formation in the S enantiomer has been confirmed by the calculated IR spectra and is in agreement with thus far experimental and computational results.

Abstract
As an extension of the reaction mechanism describing the base-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones according to Berkessel et al., we use a standard methodology for transition-state (TS) calculations in order to check the possibility of heterolytic cleavage of H2 at the ketone's carbonyl carbon atom, yielding one-step hydrogenation path with involvement of carboxylic acid as a catalyst. As an extension of the catalyst scope in the base-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones, our mechanism involves a molecule with a labile proton and a Lewis basic oxygen atom as a catalyst-for example, R-C(=O)OH carboxylic acids-so that the heterolytic cleavage of H2 could take place between the Lewis basic oxygen atom of a carboxylic acid and the electrophilic (Lewis acidic) carbonyl carbon of a ketone/aldehyde. According to our TS calculations, protonation of a ketone/aldehyde by a proton shuttle (hydrogen bond) facilitates the hydride-type attack on the ketone's carbonyl carbon atom in the process of the heterolytic cleavage of H2 . Ketones with electron-rich and electron-withdrawing substituents in combination with a few carboxylic and amino acids-in total, 41 substrate-catalyst couples-have been computationally evaluated in this article and the calculated reaction barriers are encouragingly moderate for many of the considered substrate-catalyst couples.

Abstract
DFT calculations are widely used for computing properties, reaction mechanisms and energy profiles in organometallic reactions. A qualitative agreement between the experimental and the calculated results seems to usually be enough to validate a computational methodology but recent advances in computation indicate that a nearly quantitative agreement should be possible if an appropriate DFT study is carried out. Final percent product concentrations, often reported as yields, are by far the most commonly reported properties in experimental metal-mediated synthesis studies but reported DFT studies have not focused on predicting absolute product amounts. The recently reported stoichiometric pentafluoroethylation of benzoic acid chlorides (R-C6H4COCl) with [(phen)Cu(PPh3)C2F5] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, PPh3 = triphenylphosphine) has been used as a case study to check whether the experimental product concentrations can be reproduced by any of the most popular DFT approaches with high enough accuracy. To this end, the Gibbs energy profile for the pentafluoroethylation of benzoic acid chloride has been computed using 14 different DFT methods. These computed Gibbs energy profiles have been employed to build kinetic models predicting the final product concentration in solution. The best results are obtained with the D3-dispersion corrected B3LYP functional, which has been successfully used afterwards to model the reaction outcomes of other simple (R = o-Me, p-Me, p-Cl, p-F, etc.) benzoic acid chlorides. The product concentrations of more complex reaction networks in which more than one position of the substrate may be activated by the copper catalyst (R = o-Br and p-I) are also predicted appropriately.
