A comprehensive study of the influence of non-covalent interactions on electron density redistribution during the reaction between acetic acid and methylamine

Résumé

Context: A chemical reaction can be described, from a physicochemical perspective, as a redistribution of electron density. Additionally, non-covalent interactions locally modify the electron density distribution. This study aims to characterize the modification of reactivity caused by the presence of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, in a reaction involving the formation of two bonds and the breaking of two others: CH₃COOH + NH₂CH₃ → CH₃CONHCH₃. Methods: In this work, we will follow the how a reaction mechanism involving the formation of two chemical bonds and the breaking of two other chemical bonds is affected by noncovalent interaction. To this end, the reaction force will be used to define the region of the reagents, the region of the transition state, and the region of the products. We will analyze the redistributions of electron density and electron pairs in each of the regions of the reaction mechanisms, using QTAIM and ELF , topological analyses, respectively, for the reaction between methylamine and acetic acid, in the presence of 0 to 4 water molecules. DFT calculations were carried out at the LC-ωPBE/6-311++G(d,p) + GD3BJ level along the intrinsic reaction coordinate of the one-step reaction leading to the formation of methylacetamide.
