Abstract
The proton affinities of cycloalkanones and some open chain ketones have been calculated by means of the MINDO/3 method. The marked ring size effect on the proton affinities of cyclic ketones as opposed to their open chain counterparts is rationalized in terms of a model for protonation of carbonyl compounds proposed by Del Bene, as well as in terms of the energy partitioning scheme within MINDO/3.
