QTAIM and IRC studies for the evaluation of activation energy on the C=P, C=N and C=O Diels-Alder reaction

In Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-butadiene with hetero-dienophiles, the substitution of a carbon by a heteroatom as N, O and P on the dienophile decreases the activation energy, particularly for the phosphorus. All these reactions are concerted, proven by the DFT/B3LYP method using the cc-pVDZ basis....
