DFT study:
- DFT optimised geometries and computed enthalpies were used to calculate the thermodynamics of the isodesmic reactions between dimethyl carbonate and alpha/beta-methoxy-2-deoxy-D-ribose cyclic carbonates or trimethylene carbonate (TMC), so as to evaluate the ring-strains of the 2 monomers.
