Table 1. Energy Data from ASM Analysis (in kcal/mol)a.
| energy component | anti-TS | syn-TS | ΔΔEb |
|---|---|---|---|
| ΔEdist(en) | 2.9 | 1.0 | 1.9 |
| ΔEdist(MeI) | 12.9 | 11.8 | 1.1 |
| ΔEint | –19.5 | –18.6 | –0.9 |
| ΔE⧧ | –3.7 | –5.8 | 2.1 |
Energy data are obtained form electronic energies computed at the ωB97X-D/Def2TZVPP level. enTS and MeITS denote distorted structures of the reactants in the transition states.
Energy difference obtained from the previous two columns.
