Popis: A semiempirical MNDO calculation was carried out for the singlet potential energy surface for the dimerization of acetonitrile oxide leading to dimethylfuroxane. The dimerization of nitrile oxides proceeds by a two-step mechanism. The rate-limiting step is formation of a dinitrosoethylene intermediate. A semiempirical AMI calculation was carried out to study the effect of phosphoryl substituents on formation of the transition state of the rate-limiting step in the dimerization of dimethoxyphosphorylnitrile oxide. Independently of the initial orientation of the two phosphorylnitrile oxide molecules, a gauche-oriented dimerica species is formed in the first step in the dimerization. There is hardly any specific effect ofthe phosphoryl substituents in the first step of phosphorylnitrile oxide dimerization.
