Popis: | The barriers to pyrolytic unimolecular elimination by ethyl methanesulfonate and ethyl methanesulfinate were calculated for both five-membered ring eliminations that yield acetaldehyde and six-membered ring eliminations that yield ethylene. The experimental observation that related sulfinates undergo the five-centered elimination and sulfonates the six-centered elimination is reproduced by the calculations and rationalized in terms of a nucleophilicity/electrophilicity matching issue in the former and a charge-separated transition state in the latter.
