Abstract: Based on diverse groups(R), which located on the 6-substituted site of the dihydropyrandione ring, the final products obtained from the catalytic hydrogenation of 3-analinomethylidene-5,6-2H-dihydropyran-2,4-diones are very different. The selectivity of the title reaction has been studied by means of B3LYP/6-311G**, AM1 semi-empirical method and molecular mechanics (Tripos force field). The results obtained show that the reaction selectivity is decided by the stability of radical intermediate at the first step and the stability is affected by group R.

Key words: Reaction selectivity, Catalytic hydrogenation, Dihydropyrandione, DFT, AM1
