Table 2. Relative Gibbs free energy values (in kJ mol–1) of the H–C1′ hydrogen atom abstraction intermediates calculated with respect to the lowest energy conformer at the M06-2X/6-311++G(2d,2p) level assuming the C-PCM model of bulk water.

α-C1′-endo α-S β-S α-N β-N
Neutral intermediates before the O–H group dissociation
12.0 0.0 24.8 17.8 30.4
Intermediates after the O–H bond dissociation
0.0 a 0.1 17.6 b 0.0 a 17.6 b

aOptimization of the α-N intermediate after the O–H bond dissociation converged to the α-C1′-endo conformer, thus, their respective energies are identical.

bOptimization of the β-N intermediate after the O–H bond dissociation converged to the β-S conformer, thus, their respective energies are identical.
