Abstract
New examples of reversible C ⇄ N migrations of alkoxycarbonyl groups, which occur in the reactions of pyridinium and 3-(diethylcarbamoyl)pyridinium ylides, viz., derivatives of dimethyl and diethyl malonates, with aryl isocyanates were studied. The mechanism of migration of the methoxycarbonyl group from the carbon atom to the nitrogen atom was considered on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations. The product of the primary attack of the isocyanate group by pyridinium ylide was established to be rearranged with low potential barriers to form carbamate without formation of cyclic intermediate compounds.
