Abstract
The biogenetic origin of triterpene dimers from the Celastraceae family has been proposed as assisted hetero-Diels-Alder reaction (HDA). In this work, computational calculation of HDA between natural quinonemethides (tingenone and isopristimerol) and hypothetical orthoquinones has been performed at the M06-2X/6-31G(d) level of theory. We have located all the HDA transition states supporting the biogenetic route via HDA cycloadditions. We found that all reactions take place through a concerted inverse electron demand and asynchronous mechanism. The enzymatic assistance for dimer formation was analyzed in terms of the calculated transition state energy barrier.
