Аннотация
The mechanism to generate azomethine ylide from formaldehyde and glycine is systematically investigated. The density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level is employed for both geometry optimization and single point energy calculation. Our results indicate that two possible pathways can lead to the generation of the carbinolamine intermediate with a favorable step-wise pathway. However, as for the step to form azomethine ylide, a concerted elimination of water and carbon dioxide is preferred. This calculation result is totally different from the widely accepted revised Rizzi mechanism.
