Quantum Mechanical Studies of Chemical Reactivity and Ballistic Chemistry. II. Substituent Effects of Azolyl Groups,
Abstract
Many observations in the literature indicate that the reactivity of side-chain substituents attached to azole rings depends markedly on the number and kind of heteroatoms and on their location relative to the reacting substituent. In general, two principal trends are observed: Substituents attached to carbon atoms located alpha- to pyrrole-type nitrogen seem to be more electron-withdrawing with regard to substituents than those located beta- to such an atom; Replacement of carbon by nitrogen causes the azole ring to become more electron-withdrawing or less electron-donating with regard to substituents. In the report the CNDO/2 calculations described in the previous report are discussed in an effort to arrive at a detailed understanding of the reasons for these trends. (Author)
