SUMMARY:Theory\, Dynamics\, and Mechanisms of Cycloadditions - Professor K
 endall Houk (University of California\,  Los Angeles)
DTSTART:20130117T160000Z

UID:TALK42097@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Aron Cohen
DESCRIPTION:The distortion/interaction model to understand reactivity in c
 ycloadditions has superseded the frontier molecular orbital model for thes
 e reactions.  Applications will be described that provide understanding of
  cycloadditions that have been applied to synthesis\, materials chemistry 
 and chemical biology. Molecular dynamics simulations of Huisgen's 1\,3-dip
 olar cycloadditions\, Diels-Alder reactions\, and carbene cycloadditions p
 rovide information on the timing of bond formation and provide time-resolv
 ed information about mechanisms.
