Formic acid density functional theory studies

A model system consisting of methyloxirane, formate, and formic acid has been used to study the nucleophile-catalysed and nucleophile- and acid-catalysed opening of an epoxide ring by applying ab initio quantum mechanical calculations [up to the MP4(SDQ)/6-31- -G //MP2/6-31- -G" level] and also density functional theory...
