摘要
Alarming: Multiple sources of errors in DFT energetics of C-C bond-forming reactions were investigated by evaluating structural transformations in Diels-Alder reactions: conversion of π into σ bonds and changes in conjugation, hyperconjugation, and branching interactions. A startling overestimation of the π to σ bond conversion is found with most methods, a central problem to all reactions involving addition of π bonds (electrocyclic processes, ene, aldol). © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
