Description
Summary:The formation of cyclopropatetrahedrane (tetracyclo­[2.1.0.01,3.02,4]­pentane) via four different carbene reactions is computed using the (U)­CCSD­(T)­(full)/cc-pVTZ//(U)­ωB97X-D/cc-pVTZ + 1.3686­(E ZPVE) theoretical model. Intrinsic reaction coordinate plots confirm that each carbene is directly linked to cyclopropatetrahedrane via a unique cyclopropanation step. Each elementary step is assessed according to the structure and energy of its transition state.
