A model study on the photochemical isomerization of isothiazoles and thiazoles.

چکیده
The mechanisms for photochemical isomerization reactions are studied theoretically using three model systems: 3-methylisothiazole, 4-methylisothiazole and 5-methylisothiazole. The CASSCF (ten-electron/seven-orbital active space) and MP2-CAS methods are used with the 6-311G(d) and 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis sets, respectively. Three mechanisms, the internal cyclization-isomerization route (path A), the ring contraction-ring expansion route (path B) and the direct route (path C), are used to determine the actual photochemical reaction mechanism for these three model molecules. The structures of the conical intersections, which play a crucial role in these photo-transpositions, are determined. The intermediates and transition structures of the ground states are also calculated, to give a qualitative explanation of the reaction pathways. These model investigations suggest that the preferred reaction route is: reactant → Franck-Condon region → conical intersection → photoproduct. Particularly, the direct mechanism (path C) described in this work gives a better explanation than other pathways proposed before and is supported by the experimental observations. The results obtained allow a number of predictions to be made.

A model study on the photochemical isomerization of cyclic silenes.
The mechanism for the photochemical isomerization reaction is investigated theoretically using a model system of a five-membered-ring silene and the CAS(8,8)/6-311G(d) and MP2-CAS-(8,8)/6-311++G(3df,3pd)//CAS(8,8)/6-311G(d) methods. These model investigations indicate that the preferred reaction route for a five-membered-ring silene, which leads to the photorearrangement product, is as follows:...

متن کاملIsomerization around a C=N double bond and a C=C double bond with a nitrogen atom attached: thermal and photochemical routes.
The Longuet-Higgins phase change theorem is used to show that, in certain photochemical reactions, a single product is formed via a conical intersection. The cis-trans isomerization around the double bond in the formaldiminium cation and vinylamine are shown to be possible examples. This situation is expected to hold when the reactant can be converted to the product via two distinct elementary ...

The nitrite ® nitro isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (III) halides has been known. In this paper, the effect of the size of the counter ions (noncoordinated groups) on the rate of isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (III) halides, is reported. The rate of isomerization is decreased by increasing the size of the counter ions. This decrease is explained on the...
