Abstract
Semiempirical and ab initio quantum chemical computations indicate that the intermediate formed prior to the selectivitydetermining methyl transfer step in the reaction between glycosides and trimethylamiuum is a strongly hydrogen-bonded equilibrium O···HCOH···C, which is proposed to be an important selectivity promoting factor in the alkyl transfer reaction.
