A topochemical rearrangement with multiple inversions of configuration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Crystalline 2-benzyloxypyridine-1-oxide rearranges slowly at room temperature to crystalline 1-benzyloxy-2-pyridone. No intermediates are detected when the process is followed by solid-state 13 C NMR. The crystal structure of the pyridine-1-oxide strongly suggests that a topochemically controlled intramolecular process, in which the benzyl group migrates with retention of configuration, is not feasible. On the other hand, although somewhat disfavoured by initial solid-state O···C···O angles significantly less than the ideal 180°, intermolecular topochemically controlled processes can be envisaged that lead, with multiple inversions of configuration, either to net retention of configuration or to net inversion of configuration in the benzyl group. In contrast to the 5080% inversion observed in solution, in the solid state only inversion is observed experimentally when chirally labelled α-deuteriobenzyloxypyridine-1-oxide is allowed to rearrange.Key words: X-ray crystallography, solid-state 13 C NMR, benzyl-α-D-alcohol, 2-benzyloxypyridine-1-oxide, 1-benzyloxy-2-pyridone.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
