## Abstract Semiempirical (AM1) molecular orbital theory has been used to investigate the oxidation of alcohols at the active site of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH). The model active site consists of a zinc dication coordinated to two methyl‐mercaptans (Cys‐46, Cys‐176), an imidazole (His‐67),
Chiral tertiary alcohols and their esters represent important flavor compounds and are useful building blocks. Unfortunately, they are accepted by only a few lipases/esterases as substrates and enantioselectivity is usually very low. We report here a highly enantioselective transesterification of th
The steric energy difference (A&) between tertiary carbenium ions (R') and the corresponding alcohols has been calculated by MM2 for a series of tertiary nonbridgehead substrates and correlated with their rate of solvolytic reactivity. Satisfactory correlation is obtained, except for p-nitrobenzoate
Simple Hammett studies, hydrogen isotope effects, and attempted preparation of proposed transient intermediates are used to probe the mechanism of oxidation of alcohols by 2,2,6,6\_tetramethylpiperidine nitrosonium ion. The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones with 2,2,6,6-\_ztramethylpip
