Table 5. Wiberg Bond Order Analyses on the N1–C2, C2–O3, and C2–C4 Bonds of Reactant R1 and Intermediate 2.
| N1–C2 | C2–O3 | C2–C4 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | 2.63 (1.21 Å)a | 0.95 (1.55 Å) | |
| 2 | 0.84 (1.64 Å) | 2.22 (1.28 Å) | 0.92 (1.57 Å) |
The distance within parentheses refers to the bond length. All of the Wiberg bond orders were calculated at the M06-2X/6-31G(d, p)/IEF-PCMchloroform level of theory.
