Table 4. Summary of the Agreement between Experiment and QM/MM Calculations for the t-DPPO(1) Modela.
experiment | AM1 | B3LYP | SCS-MP2//B3LYP | |
---|---|---|---|---|
ΔG⧧[C(1)] | 13–16b | 19.0 | 9.7 | 12.8 |
ΔΔG⧧[C(2)–C(1)] | 2.1c | 6.0 | 1.3 | 3.0 |
selectivity [C(1):C(2)] | 32:1c | 23755:1 | 9:1 | 154:1 |
ΔG⧧[C(1)] and ΔΔG⧧[C(2)–C(1)] are the activation free energy for nucleophilic attack at C(1) and the difference between the C(1) and C(2) barriers (in kilocalories per mole), respectively. Selectivity [C(1):C(2)] refers to the ratio of products, predicted by the ratio of the calculated rate constants from ΔΔG⧧[C(2)–C(1)].
From the 97:3 ratio observed by Borhan et al. for the reaction of t-DPPO in murine sEH.22
