Rm. Minyaev et al., THEORETICAL-STUDY OF RAPID TOPOMERIZATION IN TETRACYCLO[4.4.4.4]-1-BORA-3,5-DIAZAPENTANE, Chemical physics letters, 259(1-2), 1996, pp. 173-177
The rearrangement of a novel (hypothetical) stereochemical nonrigid sy
stem, tetracyclo[4.4.4.4]-1-bora-3,5-diazapentane, of the pendulum typ
e has been studied by ab initio (RHF/6-31G*, RHF/DZP, BLYP/DZP and MP
2/6-31G*) calculations. The calculations show that the system undergo
es rapid topomerization with a low-energy barrier of about 6.7-11.8 kc
al/mol and probably possesses sufficient thermodynamic stability to be
a feasible synthetic target.
