What are transition-state analogs?


Definitions:

Highest Occupied

Refers to the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO), which is the top-most energy molecular orbital that is occupied by electrons in a molecule under the ground state.

π MO

Pi molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of p orbitals that are oriented parallel to each other, playing a key role in the bonding of molecules with conjugated systems.

1,3-Butadiene

A basic conjugated diene having the chemical structure C4H6, utilized as a monomer for synthesizing synthetic rubber.

Stepwise Mechanism
