Recognition-induced Acceleration and Regiocontrol of a [3+2] Dipolar CycloadditionReaction

SJ Howell, Douglas Philp, N Spencer

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The rational design of a recognition-based system that is capable of accelerating and controlling the regiochemical outcome of a dipolar cycloaddition reaction between an azide and an alkyne is presented. The origins of the acceleration and control of the cycloaddition reactions are rationalized-using molecular mechanics calculations-in terms of the formation of a complex between the reagents which organizes and orients them prior to reaction.
