Abstract

A theoretical study of the molecular mechanism and regioselectivity of the [1+2] cycloaddition reaction between alkenes: limonene, terpinolene, ?-terpinene and dichlorocarbene has been carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level of theory. The calculation of activation and reaction free energies indicates that these reactions are regio-specific in good agreement with experimental result.
