Dyotropic

A dyotropic rearrangement is an uncatalyzed process in which two a bonds simultaneously migrate intramolecularly. There are two types. The above is an example of type 1, which consists of reactions in which the two a bonds interchange positions. In type 2, the two a bonds do not interchange positions. An example is...

Dyotropic rearrangements are uncatalyzed concerted dihydrogen exchange reactions, another class of orbital symmetry controlled processes, which involve the simultaneous migration of two cr-bonds. These conversions can be both thermal and photochemical. They can be subdivided into two types (1) reactions in which two migrating cr-bonds interchange their positions (equation 78), and (2) reactions without such positional interchange (equation 79)91,92. 

Furthermore, a brief review of dyotropic rearrangements starting with the hypothetical transformations of 1,2-disubstituted cyclobutenes was published98 in which two types of these processes were described and a general theory covering such rearrangements was outlined. Quantum chemical calculations of the reaction barrier for the dihydrogen... 

The isodrine framework was used for synthesis of pagodane in which one of the key steps is Mackenzie s transannular dyotropic hydrogen transfer101. Also, a very intriguing ... 

An irreversible dyotropic rearrangement of fluoro-substituted tris(silyl)hydroxyl-amines (127) (128) has been reported and ab initio and density functional calculations for model compounds have confirmed the dyotropic course of this rearrangement. ... 

Dyotropic rearrangement is an uncatalysed process in which two a bonds simultaneously migrate intramolecularly by a dyotropic transition state 202 and has been observed in organosilylhydroxylamine derivatives 201 (equation 59). 

However, the 0-(fluorosilyl)-Af,Af-bis(organosilyl)hydroxylamine 204 undergoes an irreversible rearrangement yielding the isomeric Af-(fluorosilyl)-Af,0-bis(organosilyl) hydroxylamine 205 . The rearrangement proceeds via a dyotropic transition state to yield the hydroxylamine 205. An intermolecular thermal rearrangement with the insertion... 

To explore the dyotropic rearrangement of silyl hydroxylamines, Schmatz, Klinge-biel and colleagues studied the behaviour of 0-lithium-Af,Af-bis(f-butyldimethylsilyl) hydroxylamine 207 in the presence of chlorotrimethylstannane (equation 62). They found that the primarily formed Af,Af-bis(f-butyldimethylsilyl)-0-(trimethylstannyl)hydroxyl-amine 208 underwent a dyotropic rearrangement to form 209. This reaction mechanism is corroborated by quantum chemical calculations partly employing an effective core potential for tin. 

In other studies, the photochemical rearrangements of disilenes with the general structures A2Si=SiB2 — ABSi=SiAB were observed165. This was believed to be a dyotropic process.
