The use of the PBE0 hybrid density functional theory method in conjunction with the COSMO solvation model allowed us to reproduce, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the experimentally observed conformational compositions of 2-substituted and 2,7-disubstituted methylenecyclohexanes. An analysis revealed several different interactions that influence the overall equilibrium. It was found that the endo (general) anomeric effect plays a significant role in the equilibrium and that the "unsaturation effect" possibly comprises two effects.Key words: conformational analysis, methylenecyclohexanes, anomeric effect, unsaturation effect.

The transition states for the H 2 NO decomposition and rearrangements mechanisms have been explored by the CBS-Q method or by density functional theory. Six transition states were located on the potential energy surface, which were explored with the Quadratic Complete Basis Set (CBS-Q) and Becke's one-parameter density functional hybrid methods. Interesting deviations between the CBS-Q results and the B1LYP density functional theory lead us to believe that further study into this system is necessary. In the efforts to further assess the stabilities of the transition states, bond order calculations were performed to measure the strength of the bonds in the transition state.

An energetically viable (on the basis of results from density functional theory computations) pathway to the diterpene variediene is described. Only one of the three secondary carbocations along this pathway is predicted to be a minimum on the potential energy surface.
