Ab initio method study on the isomerization of 3-amino-2-pyridone

Ab initio caculations with RHF/6-31G and MP2/6-31G have been used to study the isomerization of 3-amino-2-pyridone in gas-phase and in water. The results obtained show that 3-amino-2-pyridone is isomerized into 3-amino-2-hydroxy pyridine via a four-center cyclic transition state in the gas-phase, an...

Summary:Ab initio caculations with RHF/6-31G and MP2/6-31G have been used to study the isomerization of 3-amino-2-pyridone in gas-phase and in water. The results obtained show that 3-amino-2-pyridone is isomerized into 3-amino-2-hydroxy pyridine via a four-center cyclic transition state in the gas-phase, and via a six-center cyclic transition state in water. The activation energies of this reaction are 226.3336(RHF/6-31G) and 171.2269(MP2/6-31G) in gas-phase, and 81.6398(RHF/6-31G) and 59.8668(MP2/6-31G) kJ mol −1 under the condition of a single water molecule as the catalyst, respectively.
