Abstract
Mechanisms of intramolecular transformations of carbanions generated from 2-aza-1,3,5-trienes by the action of potassium tert-butoxide, which could lead to homo- or heteroannular azacycloheptadienes, were studied by quantum-chemical methods in terms of the density functional theory. The corresponding gradient channels were localized for model 1-methylsulfanyl-1-(cyclopentylideneamino)- and 1-methylsulfanyl-1-(cyclohexylideneamino)buta-1,3-dien-2-ols. Analysis of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters showed that carbanion generated from N-cyclopentylidenebuta-1,3-dien-1-amine undergoes rearrangement mainly into homoannular azacycloheptadiene and that analogous N-cyclohexylidene derivative gives rise to heteroannular isomer. The results of calculations were consistent with the experimental data.
