Mechanism for moving of the C=C bond migration allylphenylsulfide catalyzed by methanesulfonic acid

Abstract

Quantumochemically, using the density functional theory in the B3PW91/6-31G** approximation the mechanism of C=C bond displacement in allylphenylsulfide in the presence of methanesulfonic acid was analyzed. The reaction proceeds through the formation of 1-(phenylthio)prop-2-yl or 2-methyl-1-phenyl-thiirany. The calculations show the possibility of the protonation reaction of allylphenylsulfide proceeding and the deprotonation of the resulting cation to propenylphenylsulphide, as well as the opening of the thiranium cation under the action of methylsulfonate to form the propenylphenylsulfide complex with methanesulfonic acid. Comparison of the calculation results without solvent and with its account, shows that the profile of the potential energy of the reaction is practically preserved.
Key words: quantum-chemical calculations, transition state, allylphenilsulfide, propenylphenilsulfide, tiiranium cation.
