Abstract

The products and selectivities of some organic reactions cannot be explained within the normal framework of reaction barriers and transition state theory. In these cases, explicit consideration of the detailed motions and momenta of the atoms can often rationalize the experimental results.[1] Such reactions may be described as involving “dynamic effects”. The recognition of the breadth of reactions involving dynamic effects and the detailed ...
