Abstract
The reaction mechanism of photoisomerization of isoxazoles to oxazoles through azirine intermediates is investigated theoretically by means of ab initio MO CI calculations. Azirine intermediates in S~1~ state [(n β*) state of the carbonyl chromophore] cause the Cο£ΏN bond rupture of azirine ring and transform to isoxazoles via intersystem crossing to T~1~ state. On the other hand, azirine intermediates in S~2~ state [(n β*) state of the ketimine chromophore] lead to the Cο£ΏC bond rupture of azirine ring and convert to oxazoles via intersystem crossing to T~1~ state.
