The [2,3]- and [1,2]-sigmatropic rearrangements of ammonium ylides are studied by a combination of experimental, standard computational, and dynamic trajectory methods. The mixture of concerted [2,3] rearrangement and bond cleavage observed experimentally is accounted for by the outcome of trajectories passing through the formal [2,3] rearrangement transition state. In this way the bond cleavage is promoted by the pericyclic stabilization of the [2,3] transition state. It is proposed that this d ...[more]
