Abstract

Mechanisms for the recently observed exchange of cyanide anion in acetonitrile have been investigated by means of semi-empirical MNDO molecular orbital calculations. A prototropic type mechanism via a cyclopropane intermediate is the most likely candidate. The previously proposed concerted migration is indicated to be the least favourable reaction pathway.
