Abstract
The microscopic mechanisms of the electrocyclic reactions for cis-1,3-butadiene and its monofluoro-, monochloroderivatives have been studied by density functional theory (DFT), using the B3LYP method and 6-311++G** basis sets. We optimized the geometric configurations of reactants, transition states, and products; verified all the probable transition states through vibrational analysis; and calculated the relative single-point energies at the QCISD(T)/6-311++G**//B3LYP/6-311++G**. The results show that the monofluoro-, monochloroderivatives of cis-1,3-butadiene both have two conformers; the reactant favors the electrocyclic reaction when one outboard hydrogen atom of the CH2 groups is substituted by the fluorine or chlorine atom. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
