A computational study of triazene, methyltriazene, dimethyltriazene, and trimethyltriazene is presented. A number of different conformers are analyzed and rationalized using hyperconjugation and steric interaction arguments. The transition states for rotation, inversion, and proton and methyl shifts (including water-mediated) are found and the barriers determined.Key words: triazene, ab initio, methyltriazene, 1,3-proton shift.

A computational study of the degenerate 1,5-suprafacial migration of the 5-substituted cyclopentadienes is presented. The substituents considered are the Group 14–17 elements of the second through fifth periods, saturated by hydrogens as needed to fulfill normal valence requirements. The geometry of most transition states are remarkably similar in the carbon framework. The activation barrier to migration was shown to correlate well with a dimensionless "stretching" parameter, especially at the MP2 level.Key words: 5-substituted 1,3-cyclopentadiene, 1,2-haptotropic shift, 1,5-suprafacial shift, ab initio, transition states.

A computational study of a series of model triazene-based anticancer agents based on methyl- and amidyl-substituted 5-(1-triazenyl)imidazoles has been carried out, including the drugs Dacarbazine, Temozolomide, and Mitozolomide. A number of different conformers are analyzed. The transition states for the gas-phase and water-mediated triazene tautomerization reaction are found and the barriers are determined.

Fluorine atoms incorporated into 1,5-hexadiene molecule should influence the kinetic as well as the thermodynamic parameters of [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement (Cope rearrangement). Within few decades is has been documented that this transformation proceeds in a concerted manner, rather than stepwise with some radical intermediates involved. Few new terminally fluorinated 1,5-hexadienes (compounds 3, 5A, 7, 9 and 5B) have been synthesized. The activation parameters of rearrangement have been determined and compared with those known for hydrocarbon analogues. While systems developing chair-like transition states (compounds 3 and 5) showed close similarity with hydrocarbon analogues (compound 1), those developing boat-like transition states (compounds 7, 9 and 5B) may proceed through radical stepwise mechanism. Computational studies of the transition states were carried out, showing that only ab initio methods (MP2 and especially DFT) can give approximate correlation with experimental data, whereas in the case of hydrocarbon analogues even simple semiempirical methods (AM1) were reliable enough to reproduce experimental results.
