AM1 calculations were carried out to simulate the two possible pathways of
the reaction of 3,3-dimethyl-11-phenyl-1H-dibenz[b,e] [1,4]diazepin-1-ones
to 3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrophenazin-1(2H)-ones in the presence of performic
acid. Electronic properties and molecular orbitals were analyzed both at t
he beginning and during the reaction trajectory. Performic acid electrophil
ic reactivity is attributed to LUMO + I orbital. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science
