    Palladium(II)-catalyzed annulation of N-methoxy amides and arynes: computational mechanistic insights and substituents effects

    The combined use of transition metal-catalyzed C–H activation with aryne annulation reactions has emerged as an important strategy in organic synthesis. In this study, the mechanisms of the palladium(II)-catal...

    DFT exploration of mechanistic pathways of an aza-Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction

    A new bimolecular pathway for a model aza-MBH reaction is presented and then explored in more details by DFT/M06-2X calculations. For this bimolecular pathway, explicit formic acid was considered in the rate-dete...

    The importance of conformational search: a test case on the catalytic cycle of the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling

    Conformational diversity is an often neglected aspect in computational studies of transition metal complexes, even when relatively large systems are involved. The importance of conformational searches is illus...
