ABSTRACT
Carbocation rearrangement reactions are of great significance to synthetic and biosynthetic chemistry. In pursuit of a scale of inherent migratory aptitude that takes into account dynamic effects, both uphill and downhill ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations were used to examine competing migration events in a model system designed to remove steric and electronic biases. The results of these simulations were combined with detailed investigations of potential energy surface topography and variational transition state theory calculations to reveal the importance of nonstatistical dynamic effects on migratory aptitude.
