Abstrakt: MNDO calculations were carried out of the ground and transitional states of the planar inversion of the N atom for ketenimines containing σ (Me, NH, OH, OMe, and F) and π (CH = O) acceptor N substituents as well as for C-amino- and C-formylketenimines. Configurationally stable N-amino-, N-alkoxy-, and N-fluoroketenimines (inversion barriers ∼27-45 kcal/mole) are of interest for further experimental stereochemical studies. The geometry of the ketenimine fragment is determined in general by n-π* conjugation. Other orbital and Coulombic interactions affect C- and N-substituent orientation relative to this fragment.
