Abstract
The decomposition pathways of chloromethanol have been studied by ab initio calculation. Equilibriums and transition states have been optimized at the UMP2(full)/6β31G(d) level. The single point energies have been obtained at higher level of G3 (MP2). Four transition states and eight reaction pathways have been revealed and the most favorable reaction to decomposition pathway is the 1, 2βHCI elimination, which is consistent with the former scientist's conclusion.

## Abstract The thermal unimolecular decomposition of bromocyclobutane has been investigated over the temperature range of 791β1224 K using the technique of very lowβpressure pyrolysis (VLPP). HBr elimination is the sole mode of decomposition under the experimental conditions. No evidence could be
The unimolecular decomposition of substituted N-chloro-a-glycine anions was examined by an ab initio method using the 6-31G\* basis set to obtain an insight into the relationship between transition-state structure and reactivity. The complete potential energy surface was explored and the stationary
## Abstract The products of the rearrangement of ethylnitrene are ethylideneimine via a 1,2 hydrogen shift, __N__βmethyl methyleneimine via a 1,2 methyl shift, and the corresponding aziridine by cyclization. The three reactions have been studied by the semiempirical MNDO method. The charge transfer
