Theoretical prediction of a base-catalyzed bicyclic Boulton--Katritzky rearrangement.
On the basis of quantum chemical calculations, the bicyclic Boulton--Katritzky rearrangement (BKR) has been classified as a pseudopericyclic reaction. Theoretical investigations extend the applicability of the BKR to classes of molecules other than those known from experiments.
