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
a

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)].

b

Estimated from rate constants obtained for similar epoxide hydrolases and substrates.27,44,51,79

c

From the 97:3 ratio observed by Borhan et al. for the reaction of t-DPPO in murine sEH.22
