Brønsted basicity in the context of protonation-induced rearrangement
Abstract
Abstract G4 ab initio calculations have been used to discuss the basicity of ring-strained molecules in order to separate true basicity from stabilization by rearrangement. Proton affinity (gas phase) must respect two rules: microscopic reversibility and absence of bond breaking.
