Abstract

MO calculations using the ω Hückel LCAO technique have been performed on several 3-alkylsdnones. Energy calculatioins permit predictions for protonation of the number 2 N-atom, nucleophilic attack at the number 5 C-atom, electrophilic attack at the number 4 C-atom, and free-radical attack at the number 4 C-atom. Supporting evidence for these predictions is discussed, and mechanisms of base- and acid-catalyzed hydrolysis are proposed.
