Abstract
Neighboring group participation involving a 6-membered ring structure is rare, despite the privilege of 6-membered ring transition structures in organic chemistry. We examined the putative role of a 6-membered cyclic intermediate with neighboring group participation of nitrogen cation in syn-migration of peri-ester indanone oximes. Direct observation of a peri-methyl ester-iminylium intermediate in solution by means of 1H NMR supported the existence of the 6-membered cation intermediate. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also supported the intervention of this intermediate in the rearrangement and indicated that it has a planar structure stabilized by electron delocalization.
