Re-examination of Steric Substituent Constants by Molecular Mechanics

Abstract: Statistical analysis employing the set of the steric constants Ωj,k(Rc) is shown to be very effective in characterizing the substituent steric effect on organic reactions. Ωj,k(Rc) contains several variable parameters which are useful for the diagnosis of the character of steric effe...
