Abstract

The conformational isomerization of 2-oxo-1,3-dioxane and its methyl analogs was investigated by means of ab initio RHF//6-31G(d,p) and MP2//6-31G(d,p) quantum-chemical methods. It is shown that in comparison with 1,3-dioxanes the potential energy surface of the mentioned compounds has a fewer number of stationary points and includes two minima corresponding to conformers of sofa or distorted sofa configuration and one maximum corresponding to 2,5-twist form. The value of potential barrier of interconversion of cyclic carbonates is significantly lower than that of the analogously substituted 1,3-dioxanes.
