75. An analytical reaction performed on representative 29a in DMSO/t-BuOK gave comparable results to those obtained in DMF. Therefore, although preparative scale reactions described in this article have been performed in DMF, we chose to use the available DMSO model solvent to mimic the polar aprotic solvent media in our computational study.
76. 1 we pointed out the possibility of a thermal equilibrium to occur between the diazirine B (formed through a migration step from oxadiazole A) and the diazirine C (originated through a ring-contraction step from oxadiazole A). (Chemical Equation Presented)

In our opinion, only the explicit consideration of coordinating solvent molecules in our DFT calculation, in addition to the PCM approach, could in this isolated case reproduce the stability order, experimentally determined.
