Conformational analysis. 130. MM2. A hydrocarbon force field utilizing V1 and V2 torsional terms

TL;DR: An improved force field for molecular mechanics calculations of the structures and energies of hydrocarbons is presented in this paper, where the problem of simultaneously obtaining a sufficiently large gauche butane interaction energy while keeping the hydrogens small enough for good structural predictions was solved with the aid of onefold and twofold rotational barriers.

Rules for ring closure

TL;DR: The endocyclic closure of nucleophilic centres to polarized double bonds to give five-membered rings is impeded by restrictions of geometry; these restrictions can be overcome in acid through the generation of oxonium or protonated forms.

Free-radical clocks

TL;DR: In this article, a general procedure using EPR spectroscopy has been developed which allows absolute rate constants, k/sub 1/ for unimolecular reactions to be measured in solution over a range of temperature.
