Molecule (Reaction) of the Month: Reactions in Cavities
by Rzepa, Henry 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Occasionally, we interject a Molecule of the Month of our own at Imperial College. To start the New year off with some chemistry, have a look at http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/motm/cavities.html where we present the 3D structure recently determined for the famous Diels-Alderase, the first protein to have been shown to catalyse a pericyclic cycloaddition reaction, and we also include the anthracene-resorcinol cavitand, which forms cavities (by virtue of a H-bonded network) of the right size to catalyse a Diels Alder addition. Please also note the vastly improved analytic features of Chime 2.0, which include inter alia, measurement of bond distances, angles, torsions, and much much more. Finally (since all this comes in fact from a lecture course on Pericyclic reactions) please note the fascinating orbitals for Mobius benzene; http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/organic/pericyclic/mob.3dmf (for which you will need a 3DMF plugin such as Quick3D) which I use to illustrate antarafacial components.
