The applied syntheticroute has the advantages of easy work-up under mild reaction conditions presenting moderateyields and an environmentally benign procedure. A theoretical study based on conceptual-densityfunctional theory has been done, bond reactivity indices have been calculated and an electrophilicand nucleophilic character of localized orbitals has been determined to analyze the possibleelectronic mechanisms.
