Stereoelectronic Properties, Stereospecificity and Stabilization of α‐Seleno Carbanions. An ab initio Study

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

An ab initio study of α‐seleno carbanions show that they are subject to appreciable polarization and stereoelectronic effects. Like in α‐thia carbanions, the equatorial e forms are more stable than the axial a forms, one of the stabilizing contributions being the conformation dependent (C‐lone pair, σ* SeZ) interaction. The carbanion stabilizing effect of the α‐Se atom is about 3 kcal/mol larger than that of the sulfur analog. As in the case of the sulfur no specific effect of the d orbitals is found.
