摘要：

Deoxygenation of nitroaromatics is a classic synthetic method for the construction of nitrogen heterocycles. The generally accepted mechanism involves exhaustive deoxygenation to a singlet nitrene. We present theoretical evidence for an alternative, 6pi-electron 5-atom electrocyclization of nitroso-styrenes, -stilbenes, and -biphenyls to nitronates. A downstream 1,5-H shift and tautomerization leads to N-hydroxy heterocycles.
