Abstract
It is predicted on the basis of ab initio and density functional calculations that intramolecular homolytic substitution of oxyacyl radicals at the sulfur atom in ω-alkylthio-substituted radicals do not involve hypervalent intermediates. With tert-butyl as the leaving radical, free energy barriers ΔG‡ (G3(MP2)-RAD) for these reactions range from 45.8 kJ mol–1 for the formation of the five-membered cyclic thiocarbonate (8) to 56.7 kJ mol–1 for the formation of the six-membered thiocarbonate (9). Rate coefficients in the order of 104–106 s–1 and 101–104 s–1 for the formation of 8 and 9, respectively, at 353.15 K in the gas phase are predicted at the G3(MP2)-RAD level of theory.
