A theoretical reappraisal of the cyclol hypothesis

Structural Chemistry volume 23, pages873–877(2012)Cite this article

Abstract

Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level have been carried out on the isomerization of cyclic-tri-glycine into the corresponding tri-cyclol. The results confirmed that the cyclol hypothesis was untenable both from a thermodynamic as well as from a kinetic point of view.
