Computational study of the thermal rearrangement of acetoxy(methoxy)carbene
Abstract
Abstract Thermolysis of 2‐acetoxy‐2‐methoxy‐5,5‐dimethyl‐Δ 3 ‐1,3,4‐oxadiazoline affords acetoxy(methoxy)carbene. Thermal rearrangement of acetoxy(methoxy)carbene to methyl pyruvate is a concerted 1,2‐migration, avoiding a potential radical‐pair mechanism. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
