<i>Cis/Trans</i> Energetics in Epoxide, Thiirane, Aziridine and Phosphirane Containing Cyclopentanols: Effects of Intramolecular OH⋯O, S, N and P Contacts
A recent computational analysis of the stabilizing intramolecular OH⋯O contact in 1,2-dialkyl-2,3-epoxycyclopentanol diastereomers has been extended to thiiriane, aziridine and phosphirane analogues. Density functional theory (DFT), second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and...
