Theoretical calculations were used to explore the complete reaction mechanism of nickel-catalyzed [3+2+2] cocyclization of ethyl cyclopropylideneacetate and phenylacetylene. The lowest energy pathway is made of a series of ring-opening and closing with a C-C bond formation step as the rate-determining step of the overall reaction. The energy barrier with ZPE for this step is 16.9 kcal/mol and in agreement with the reported reaction conditions.
Keywords:DFT studies; mechanism; seven-membered ring; intermolecular cyclization; nickel-catalyzed
