The solvent effect on the syn/anti population ratio of the mesityl oxide (MOx) was investigated using a new implementation of conformational bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) and molecular dynam- ics (MD) methods. It was observed by a previous theoretical work (Theor. Chem. Acc. (2012) 131:1214) that in gas-phase the MOx exists dominantly in syn-form and in aqueous solution in anti-form. The syn/anti free energy difference in the gas phase was used in the intramolecular parametrization and a rotational barrier of approximately 10 kcal mol−1 was found. Molecular systems with barriers of this order of magnitude have been studied by experimental techniques. Saiba mais abaixo...
