Theoretical Study on the Transition State of N-nitropyrazoles Rearrangement Reaction

Theoretical studies on the rearrangement reactions of nitropyrazoles have been investigated. In order to gain a better understanding of the intermediate process of rearrangement reactions, the transition states of the rearrangement reactions were obtained by TS method at the B3 LYP/6-311 G(d, p) level of theory. The natural bond orbital charge, electrostatic potential and frontier molecular orbital of the molecules in the process of rearrangement were analyzed, and the solvent effect was also discussed. The rearrangement of nitropyrazoles involves two transition states and one intermediate, and the nitro group and hydrogen atom are two transfer groups for rearrangement reactions. The migration of these two groups leads to the change of charge distribution and molecular structure. The structural changes of the molecules in different solvents are not significant, but the dipole moment of the molecule has obvious change.
