DFT Study of the Reaction Mechanism of N-(Carbomylcarbamothioyl) Benzamide Felix Odame

The reaction mechanism for the formation of N-(carbomylcarbamothioyl)benzamide has been successfully computed with the B3LYP/6-31g(d) functional and basis set and compared with 1H NMR monitoring of the progress of the reaction with time. The reaction is proposed to proceed through two transition sta...

description The reaction mechanism for the formation of N-(carbomylcarbamothioyl)benzamide has been successfully computed with the B3LYP/6-31g(d) functional and basis set and compared with 1H NMR monitoring of the progress of the reaction with time. The reaction is proposed to proceed through two transition states: Ts1 (the rate-determining step) with highly unstable species (with a requisite orientation for the reaction to proceed), and Ts2 with a lower energy leading to the product. Computation of the reaction pathway was also carried out using the B3PW91/6-31G(d), M06/6-31G(d) and Wb97XD/6- 31G(d) functionals and basis set. These results do not present a clear reaction pathway  compared to that given by the B3LYP/6-31G(d).
