Benzaldehyde in THF reacts with lithium metal to give the expected reduction product, benzyl alcohol, plus benzoin and benzyl as minor products. The kinetics of the overall reaction as well as the partial rate coefficients of the several steps have been determined under various reaction conditions.

✦ Synopsis
SINDO1 calculations are performed to study solvation effects on simple intra-and intermolecular reactions. The polarizable continuum model is implemented efficiently with isodensity surfaces. It is demonstrated for the tautomerization of 3-hydroxypyrazole and the Menshutkin reaction that the inclusion of solvation effects is essential for a correct description of the reaction. It is illustrated in the case of the Menshutkin reaction that isodensity surfaces have the necessary flexibility to follow the reaction along the reaction pathway.

A microscopic method to examine a nonequilibrium solvation effect is reported. The solution reaction is simplified as a barrier-crossing reaction within a solution reaction surface that corresponds to a two-dimensional space determined by solute and solvent reactive coordinates.
