Description
Summary:The mechanisms of the primary act of thermal decomposition of the simplest representative of the series of alkoxy-NNO-azoxy compounds – N-methyl-N’-methoxydiazene-N- oxide are studied using quantum-chemical density functional methods PBE, B3LYP, wB97XD with different sets of basic functions, as well as the composite G4 method. It is shown that the most probable channel of its thermal destruction, leading to the formation of experimentally observed reaction products, is isomerization because of rotation of the OCH 3 group around the NO bond with the subsequent transfer of the CH 3 group between oxygen atoms. In this case, the transfer of the CH3 group is the limiting reaction of the thermal decomposition of N-methyl-N’-methoxydiazene-N-oxide as a whole.
