The variations of Δ[(HCGAE(X3–C4weakening) – HCGAE(X3–C4strengthening)] parameters correlate well with the variations of the retro-ene decomposition reactions barrier heights going from compound1to compound3.

At the 3-21G (3-21G*) computational level, the intrinsic barriers associated with proton transfer between XCH2− and CH3X have been found to be essentially constant (ca. 10 kcal/mol) for X = H, F, SH, Cl. According to the Marcus rate-equilibrium treatment of proton transfer reactions, this result means that transition states should not exist for gas phase reactions [Formula: see text], when the energy change exceeds 20 kcal/mol. This prediction has been confirmed for two cases (X = H, F) in which the energy change is less than 20 kcal/mol, and two cases (X = SH, Cl) in which the energy change is greater than 20 kcal/mol.
