Popis: A method is described for the calculation of reaction paths for the interconversion of conformers by forcing the internal rotation around one or more single bonds. The implementation of the method in a general computer program for molecular mechanics is discussed. It is shown that forcing the average of two or three torsion angles has distinct advantages. Results of calculations on the interconversion of the cyclohexane conformers are presented as an example.
