Abstract
The addition of an amine group to a heteroaromatic system is a challenging synthetic process, yet it is an essential one in the development of many bioactive molecules. Here, we report an alternative method for the synthesis of 3-amino quinolin-2(1H)-one that overcomes the limitations of traditional methods by editing the molecular skeleton via a cascade C-N bond formation and denitrogenation process. We used TMSN3 as an aminating agent and a wide variety of 3-ylideneoxindoles as synthetic precursors for the quinolin-2(1H)-one backbone, which demonstrates remarkable tolerance of sensitive functional groups. The control experiments showed that the triazoline intermediate plays a significant role in the formation of the product. The spectroscopic investigation further defined the potential reaction pathways.

Abstract
The transformation of 3-[(ethoxymethylene)amino]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile into the 14-membered macrocycle, 2,10-dimethyl-2,8,10,16-tetrahydrodipyrazolo[3,4-e:3',4'-l][1,2,4,8,9,11]hexaazacyclotetradecine-4,12-diamine, by the reaction with excess hydrazine under various conditions was studied in detail. The reaction proceeded through the initial formation of 4-imino-2-methyl-2,4-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-amine followed by dimerization to give the final macrocycle. A convenient synthesis of the latter starting from 4-imino-2-methyl-2,4-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-5-amine was developed. A plausible pathway for the macrocycle self-assembly is discussed. Some features of the structure and reactivity of the obtained macrocycle are outlined.

Abstract
The Banert cascade is an efficient synthetic strategy for obtaining 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The reaction can proceed via a sigmatropic or prototropic mechanism depending on the substrate and the conditions. In this work, the mechanisms of both pathways from propargylic azides with different electronic features were investigated using density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and natural bond orbital approaches. The calculated energy barriers were consistent with the experimental data. Three patterns of electron density distribution on the transition structures were observed, which reflected the behaviors of the reactants in the Banert cascade. The stronger conjugative effects were associated with lower/higher free activation energies of sigmatropic/prototropic reactions, respectively. A clear relationship between the accumulation of the charge at the C3 atom of propargylic azides with the energy barriers for prototropic reactions was found. Thus, the obtained results would allow the prediction of the reaction's course by evaluating reactants.

Abstract
A convenient, efficient, and inexpensive method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazine derivatives via deoxygenation of 1,2,3-triazine 1-oxide using trialkyl phosphites. Triethyl phosphite is more reactive than trimethyl phosphite, and both phosphites form their corresponding phosphates in these reactions. This procedure provides a range of aromatic and aliphatic substituted 1,2,3-triazine-4-carboxylate derivatives cleanly in high yields. Unexpected 1,2,4-triazine derivatives were also obtained as minor products during deoxygenation of 1,2,3-triazine-4-carboxylate 1-oxides having an aliphatic substituent at the 5-position.

Abstract
The mechanism(s) of thermal rearrangement of azulenes have been enigmatic for several decades. Herein, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p) level together with single-point calculations at the CCSD(T) level to assess possible mechanisms of the experimentally observed azulene and naphthalene automerizations. Of the two mechanisms proposed for naphthalene automerization, it is found that the benzofulvene (BF) route is favored over the naphthvalene mechanism by ∼6 kcal/mol and is energetically lower than the norcaradiene-vinylidene mechanism (NVM) for the azulene-naphthalene rearrangement (Ea ∼ 76.5 (74.6) kcal/mol). Moreover, contrary to older reports, we observe that a pathway involving indenylcarbene intermediates is a viable, alternate mechanism. Therefore, the naphthalene automerization is expected to take place during azulene pyrolysis, especially under conditions of low-pressure FVP, where it will be aided by chemical activation. Furthermore, thermal azulene-azulene isomerization is feasible through vinylidene-acetylene-vinylidene (VAV), dehydrotriquinacene (DTQ), and azulvalene (AV) pathways with activation energies lying below that required for the azulene-naphthalene conversion, i.e., the NVM. These results, together with the previously published NVM, provide reasonable explanations for most of the products of the thermal azulene-naphthalene rearrangement.

Abstract
The thermal rearrangement of azulene to naphthalene has been the subject of several experimental and computational studies. Here, we reexamine the proposed mechanisms at the DFT level. The use of different functionals showed that the HF-exchange contribution significantly affects reaction energies and barrier heights. Accordingly, all proposed pathways were investigated with the optimal method, M06-2X/6-311+G(d,p), which confirms the norcaradiene-vinylidene mechanism (A) as the dominant unimolecular route (Ea ≈ 76 kcal/mol) able to account for the major products of pyrolyses using 13C- or substituent-labeled azulenes. Moreover, a facile vinylidene-acetylene interconversion will scramble the terminal carbon atoms in the vinylidene. Several other potential intramolecular reaction mechanisms (B-E) are ruled out because of higher activation energies (>84 kcal/mol) and failure to reproduce the results obtained with substituted and 13C-labeled azulenes and benzazulenes. These experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed free radical or H atom-induced intermolecular methylene walk and spiran mechanisms cannot be major contributors, especially under flash vacuum pyrolysis conditions.
