Va. Shagun et al., Possible intramolecular rearrangements of O-vinyloximes initiated by N-O bond dissociation: a quantum-chemical analysis, RUSS CHEM B, 50(5), 2001, pp. 764-770
The potential surface of conformational transitions of O-vinylacetoxime was
Studied and the regions of "starting" states for possible isomeric transfo
rmations with the N-O bond dissociation as the limiting stage were recogniz
ed. The activation parameters and heat effects of intramolecular rearrangem
ent O-vinylacetoxime --> iminoacetaldehyde were evaluated. Transition-state
structure of the rearrangement was identified.
