A Theoretical Study on the Photochemical Isomerization of 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine

Maurizio D’Auria · Organics · 2022

DFT calculations on the photoisomerization of 2,6-dimethylpyrazine allowed us to confirm the role of benzvalene isomers in the isomerization of hexatomic heterocyclic compounds. 2,6-Dimethylpyrazine in the excited singlet states can be converted into the corresponding Dewar isome...
