Abstract

The semi-empirical extended Hückel molecular orbital (EHMO) and non-empirical self consistent field molecular orbital (SCF-MO) methods have been used to study protonation reactions of acids, amides and esters. The work has been extended to the charged intermediates and subsequent products in their “hydrolysis” reactions.

Zusammenfassung

Ein semiempirisches, erweitertes Hückel-Verfahren sowie ab initio SCF-MO-Rechnungen wurden zur Untersuchung der Protonierung von Säuren, Amiden und Estern, deren ladungstragender Ab-kömmlinge und ihrer Folgeprodukte herangezogen.
