DFT study:

- DFT optimised geometries and  computed free enthalpies  were used to calculate the thermodynamics of the ring-opening of alpha/beta-methoxy-2-deoxy-D-ribose cyclic carbonates or trimethylene carbonate (TMC), by methanol or iso-propanol, to evaluate the thermodynamics of ROP and the regioselectivity of the reactions.
