Abstract

Abstract Geometrical optimization of the protonated neopentyl alcohol and the transition state of its heterolysis was carried out using the MINDO/3 SCF-MO method. A cyclic structure was predicted for the transition state. Agreement between the calculated and experimental values for the carbon-14 kinetic isotope effects was excellent.
