General Aspects The melting points were determined in a JSGW melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. Column chromatography was performed with silica gel 100-200 mesh particle size. TLC analyses were performed with MERK Kieselgel 60 F254 plates. 1H NMR spectra were recorded in JEOL 400 (400 MHz) and JEOL 500 (500 MHz) NMR spectrometers in solution of CDCl3 with the solvent as the internal standard.

NMR spectra were recorded in JEOL 400

(100 MHz) and JEOL 500 (125 MHz) NMR spectrometers with complete proton decoupling. IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Vector 22 FT-IR spectrometer. Mass spectral analyses were carried out on a Waters ESI-QTOF instrument. All solvents were purchased from local company - SD Fine Chemicals and were purified by following established procedures.1 Anhydrous zinc chloride and anhydrous sodium acetate were purchased from SD Fine chemicals and were dried under vacuum before use. Triphenylamine (Sigma-

Aldrich) was used as received. It was used in preparation of tripehylamine aldehyde by Vilsmeier-Haack reaction.2 Acetic anhydride and aniline (SD Fine Chemicals) were distilled prior to use. All other chemicals used in synthesis were purchased from SD Fine Chemicals and used without purification. For spectroscopic studies all the solvents were purchased form SigmaAldrich and were used as such.

General procedure for preparation of (4Z)-4-arylmethylene-2-phenyl-5(4H)-oxazolones (IIIa-b, Scheme 1).3,4 A mixture of N-benzoylglycine, I (1.0 g, 5.6 mmol, 1 equiv.), paradisubstituted aromatic aldehyde, IIa-b (5.6 mmol, 1 equiv.), anhydrous sodium acetate (0.46 g, 5.6 mmol, 1 equiv.) and acetic anhydride (2.6 mL, 28.0 mmol, 5 equiv.) was refluxed for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and 10 mL ethanol added and kept at 0 °C for 20 minutes. The deposited solid was filtered under suction and washed with ice-cold ethanol (10 mL ×2) and warm water (50 mL). The crude product obtained was dried in vacuum desiccator. The crude product was purified by a short pad silica gel chromatography (60-120 mesh).

General procedure for preparation of (4Z)-4-arylmethylene-1-methyl-2-phenyl-1,4dihydro-5H-imidazolin-5-one (1-2, Scheme 1).3,5-7 A mixture of oxazolone (0.34 mmol), methylamine in 40% aqueous solution (0.04 mL, 1.16 mmol) and anhydrous zinc chloride (0.018 g, 0.14 mmol, 40 mol%) was heated at 170 °C for 2h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched with water. The organic matter was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×3) and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated to get brown colored crude product. It was further purified by silica gel (100-200 mesh) column chromatography.

Calculated potential energy surfaces of ground state (S0) and first excited singlet state (S1) of DMPI (a) as a function of dihedral angle γ(C4-C7-C8-C13) or rotation about the single bond (C7-C8), keeping β fixed at 0° and (b) as a function of dihedral angle β(N3-C4-C7-C8) or rotation about the double bond (C4-C7), keeping γ fixed at 98°. While internal conversion (IC) is very difficult in (a) because of large S0-S1 energy gap, IC is difficult in (b) because of high activation barrier of twisting (30 kcal/mol).
