The site of nucleophilic addition to five-membered heterocyclic 2,3-diones (4-iminomethylfuran-2,3-dione A1 and 4-formyl-pyrrole-2,3-dione B1) is studied by density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-31G) with water as the nucleophile. Both uncatalyzed and water-assisted 1,2-addition to the lactone (lactam) and the keto carbonyl group, and conjugate addition to C5 of the heterocycle and the heteroatom of the 4-iminomethyl (formyl) moiety are considered. In addition, concerted and stepwise ring fission of the lactone (lactam) ring is also treated. The effect of solvation (aqueous solution) is taken into account by the polarizable continuum model (PCM) and the Poisson-Boltzmann SCRF method (PB-SCRF), as well as explicit water molecules. Only this latter approach yields meaningful activation free energies. Barriers for addition of H2O increase in the order 1,4-addition to C5 < addition to the lactone (lactam) carbonyl < hydration of the 3-keto group. No reaction path for concerted water-assisted ring opening could be found.
