Abstract

Quantum chemical study of the reaction of ethylene carbonate with methanol associates at the B3LYP/6-311++G(df,p) level of theory revealed two probable mechanisms. The one-step mechanism involves SN2 substitution at the sp 2-hybridized carbonyl carbon atom, while the two-step mechanism implies nucleophilic addition to the carbonyl group with formation of tetrahedral intermediate and subsequent elimination. All the examined reactions go through asymmetric concerted transition states.
