TL;DR: The Kemp elimination reaction of benzisoxazole via piperidine was computed in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMIM][PF6] using mixed quantum and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations and was found to give close agreement with the experimental free energy of activation.

Abstract: OPLS-AA force field parameters have been developed and validated for use in the simulation of 68 unique combinations of room temperature ionic liquids featuring 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium [RMIM] (R = Me, Et, Bu, Hex, Oct), N-alkylpyridinium [RPyr], and choline cations, along with Cl−, PF6−, BF4−, NO3−, AlCl4−, Al2Cl7−, TfO−, saccharinate, and acesulfamate anions. The new parameters were fit to conformational profiles from gas-phase ab initio calculations at the LMP2/cc-pVTZ(-f)//HF/6−31G(d) theory level and compared to experimental condensed-phase structural and thermodynamic data. Monte Carlo simulations of the ionic liquids gave relative deviations from experimental densities of ca. 1−3% at 25 °C for most combinations and also yielded close agreement over a temperature range of 5 to 90 °C. Predicted heats of vaporization compared well with available experimental data and estimates. Transferability of the new parameters to multiple alkyl side-chain lengths for [RMIM] and [RPyr] was determined to give ex...
