Abstract:ΔG ASC# values for each substituent in each position appeared to be additive. Substituent effects on barriers showed interesting contrasts. Methyl substitution at positions 5a and 5b increased barriers significantly, while substitution at all other positions had essentially no impact. In contrast, fluoro substitution at positions 5a and 5b lowered barriers more than substitution at other positions. Trifluoromethyl substitution mixed these effects, in that substitution at positions 5a and 5b increased barriers,… Show more
