Abstract
This paper describes theoretical reaction pathways of alkoxybenzyl derivatives of resorcin[4]arene leading to the formation of
o
-quinomethide derivatives of resorcin[4]arene (
o-
QMR[4]A). For each case, the activation energies for the formation of one
o
-QMR[4]A unit and the activation energies for the backward reaction were calculated. Based on the calculated reaction pathways, the reaction mechanism of
o
-QMR[4]A formation was proposed. Using the example of
o
-QMR[4]A generated from a methoxy derivative of resorcin[4]arene, the activation energies with selected nucleophiles were calculated and the reaction mechanisms discussed. Reaction path calculations were performed using the nudged elastic band method and semiempirical extended tight-binding method (GFN2-xTB). Using hydroxybenzyl derivatives of resorcin[4]arene as an example, a comparison of calculated activation energies by selected density-functional theory methods with GFN2-xTB and B97-3c geometries was performed. B97-3c and wB97XD methods were used to calculate the energies of the reactants (R), transition states (TS) and products (P) of the analysed reactions. Theoretical reaction mechanisms were discussed with respect to the orbital-weighted Fukui dual descriptor (Δ
