A Semiempirical Transition State Structure for the First Step in the Alkaline Hydrolysis of Cocaine. Comparison between the Transition State Structure, the Phosphonate Monoester Transition State Analog, and a Newly Designed Thiophosphonate Transition State Analog
Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations have been performed for the first step in the alkaline hydrolysis of the neutral benzoylester of cocaine. Successes, failures, and limitations of these calculations...
