Interaction of thiourea and urea with maleimide: comparative theoretical DFT study

A gas-phase mechanism reaction of maleimide with urea or thiourea was studied by DFT method. A comparison between atomic charges, Fukui index evaluation and Frontier orbitals theory was carried out. The involvement of pre- and post-reactive complexes was examined as the reaction profiles are modelle...
