Abstract

A quantum chemical investigation of the Bu4N[Fe(CO) 3(NO)]-catalyzed Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of vinyl cyclopropanes is reported. It was found that allylic C-C bond activation can proceed through a SN2 or SN2-type mechanism. The application of the recently reported intrinsic bond orbital (IBO) method for all structures indicated that one Fe-N π bond is directly involved. Further analysis showed that during the reaction oxidation occurs at the NO ligand exclusively.
