Abstract: | A combination of experimental data and the CNDO/2-SCF-MO method are used to evaluate the importance of d-orbitals to the electronic structure of aryl thiol esters. The thioester group is calculated to withdraw electron density through σ and 2pπ-3dπ bonding and donate by pπ-pπ bonding. Electron donating substituents para to the thiol ester group cause the latter group to accept electron density regardless of d-orbital participation. |
