Abstract
In this study, we investigated the photo-catalytic mechanisms for the construction of C-O bonds from arenes (benzene, 2',6'-dimethyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, or 2,4-dichloro-1-fluorobenzene), catalyzed by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ). All the structures for the Gibbs free surfaces were calculated at the M06-2X-D3/ma-def2-SVP level in the SMD solvent model. Also, TDDFT calculations of DDQ were performed at the PBE1PBE-D3/ma-def2-SVP level in the SMD solvent model. The computational results indicated that DDQ, serving as a photo-catalyst, would be excited under visible light of 450 nm, aligning well with experimental observations as reflected in the UV-vis spectrum. Gibbs free energy surface analyses of the three reactions suggested that the path involving 3DDQ* activating the reactant (-COOH, H2O, or CH3OH) is favorable. Additionally, the role of O2 was investigated, revealing that it could facilitate the recycling of DDQ by lowering the energy barrier for the conversion of the DDQH˙ radical (not DDQH2) into DDQ. The use of ρhole and ρele can reveal the photo-catalytic reaction and charge transfer processes, while localized orbital locator isosurfaces and electron spin density isosurface graphs were employed to analyze structures and elucidate the single electron distribution. These computational results offer valuable insights into the studied interactions and related processes, shedding light on the mechanisms governing C-O bond formation from arenes catalyzed by DDQ.

Abstract
To disclose the reaction mechanism and selectivity in the NHC-catalyzed reaction of 2-bromoenal and 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde, a systematic computational study has been performed. According to DFT computations, the catalytic cycle is divided into eight elementary steps: nucleophilic attack of the NHC on 2-bromoenal, 1,2-proton transfer, C-Br bond dissociation, 1,3-proton transfer, addition to 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde, [2 + 2] cycloaddition, NHC dissociation, and decarboxylation. The Bronsted acid DABCO·H+ plays a crucial role in proton transfer and decarboxylation steps. The addition to 6-methyluracil-5-carbaldehyde determines both chemoselectivity and stereoselectivity, leading to R-configured carbocycle-fused uracil, in agreement with experimental results. NCI analysis indicates that the CH···N, CH···π, and LP···π interactions should be the key factor for determining the stereoselectivity. ELF analysis shows the main role of the NHC in promoting C-Br bond dissociation. The mechanistic insights obtained in the present work may guide the rational design of potential NHC catalysts.

Abstract
The density functional theory (DFT) method was used to investigate the mechanism and the origin of stereoselectivity of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition between enals and cyclic imine N-sulfonyl trifluoromethyl ketimines at the M06-2X/SMD/6-311+G(d,p)//M06-2X/SMD/6-31G (d,p) level. The results show that the favorable reaction path consists of five steps: nucleophilic attack, proton transfer, the formation of the C-C bond, the tautomerism of the enol intermediate, the formation of the five-membered ring, and the regeneration of the catalyst. For the process of proton transfer, the base-assisted reaction can reduce the activation free energy and make the reaction easier to occur compared with the direct proton transfer process. The formation of the C-C bond is the crucial step of stereoselectivity, in which two chiral centers and four configurations of intermediates (RR/RS/SR/SS) were generated. The free energy barriers obtained and the noncovalent interaction analysis confirm that the dominant configuration is SS, becoming the final trans-type product observed in experiment. Furthermore, through the analyses of the conceptual DFT and natural atomic charges, it is revealed that NHC acts as a double catalyst, which can not only increase the nucleophilicity of reactants by Lewis base but also activate the C-H bond and promote the proton transfer process. The understanding of the mechanism obtained in this study should be helpful to the other organic catalytic reactions with high stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations (M06-2X) have been employed to disclose the mechanisms and regio- and stereo-selectivities of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reaction of 2-benzothiazolimines and α-chloroaldehydes. The preferred mechanism is initiated by the nucleophilic attack of NHC on α-chloroaldehyde (first step), followed by 1,2-proton transfer which was assisted by the Brønsted acid DABCO·H+ to generate the Breslow intermediate (second step). The cleavage of the C-Cl bond (third step) and deprotonation (fourth step) form the enolate intermediate. This further reacts with 2-benzothiazolimine which leads to the formation of a new C-C bond (fifth step). Subsequent cyclization takes place via the formation of a new C-N bond (sixth step). Catalyst regeneration completes the whole catalytic cycle and affords the final product (seventh step). The DFT results indicate that the fifth step determines the stereochemistry of the reaction and leads to benzothiazolopyrimidinone with the SS configuration, which agrees well with experimental observations. Intramolecular cyclization is found to be the regioselectivity-determining step, for which the [4+2] annulation pathway is more preferred than that via [2+2] annulation, which again agrees well with experimental observations. Based on the mechanism proposed, the origins of regio- and stereoselectivities have also been investigated by performing distortion/interaction, natural bond orbital (NBO) and non-covalent interaction (NCI) analyses. The mechanistic insights gained in this work should be helpful in the rational design of potential catalysts for analogous reactions.

Abstract
The possible mechanisms and origin of selectivities in N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed reactions of an aliphatic ester with aminochalcone were studied using density functional theory. Herein, a general mechanistic map involving various types of possible intermediates was discovered, and the corresponding chemoselective pathways were systematically investigated. Based on the computational results, the most energetically favorable reaction pathway mainly involved in the following processes: formation of a homoenolate intermediate via α/β-H elimination, formal Michael addition of a homoenolate intermediate to aminochalcone, intramolecular aldol-type reaction, and ring closure to form the lactam product. Furthermore, the formal Michael addition process was shown to be the stereoselectivity-determining step, generating the RR-configured product preferentially. The chemoselectivity was successfully predicted by comparing the ω + N index of reacting ability for a nucleophile (N) and electrophile (E). This work would provide a general guideline for predicting chemoselectivity in NHC-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
An unprecedented catalytic isocyanide-based cycloaddition of alkyl and aryl isocyanides with (Z)-2-(2-hydroxy-2-alkylvinyl)quinoline-3-carbaldehydes was developed for the direct and efficient synthesis of 1H-cyclopenta[b]quinolin-1-one derivatives. On the basis of DFT calculations, a mechanism is proposed involving formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition of isocyanides, followed by imine-enamine tautomerization and air oxidation.
