Popis: The effects of several substituents (BH2, BF2, AlH2, CH3, C6H5, CN, COCH3, CF3, SiH3, NH2, NH3+, NO2, PH2, OH, OH2+, SH, F, Cl, Br) on the Bergman cyclization of (Z)-1,5-hexadiyne-3-ene (enediyne, 3) were investigated at the Becke–Lee–Yang–Parr (BLYP) density functional (DFT) level employing a 6-31G* basis set. Some of the substituents (NH3+, NO2, OH, OH2+, F, Cl, Br) are able to lower the barrier (up to a minimum of 16.9 kcal mol−1 for difluoro-enediyne 7rr) and the reaction enthalpy (the cyclization is predicted to be exergonic for OH2+ and F) compared to the parent system giving rise to substituted 1,4-dehydrobenzenes at physiological temperatures. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
