The dehalogenation of2-chloroethanol (2ClEtOH) in gas phase with and {without|with out|without having|with no|devoid of|without the need of} participation ofcatalytic water molecules has been investigated {using|utilizing|making use of|employing|working with|applying} {methods|techniques|strategies|approaches|procedures|solutions} rooted {into the|in to the} densityfunctional theory. The well-known HCl elimination {leading|top|major} to vinyl alcohol (VA)was {compared to|in comparison to|in comparison with|when compared with} the {alternative|option} elimination route towards oxirane and shown tobe kinetically and thermodynamically {more|much more|a lot more|far more|additional|extra} favorable. {However|Nevertheless|Nonetheless|Even so|On the other hand|Having said that}, the isomerizationof VA to acetaldehyde {in the|within the|inside the} gas phase, {in the|within the|inside the} absence of water, was shown tobe kinetically and thermodynamically {less|much less|significantly less} favorable than the recombination ofVA and HCl to {form|type|kind} the isomeric 1-chloroethanol (1ClEtOH) species. This speciesis {more|much more|a lot more|far more|additional|extra} {stable|steady} than 2ClEtOH by about {6|six} kcal mol-1, {and the|and also the|as well as the|along with the|plus the} reaction barrieris 22 kcal mol-1 vs 55 kcal mol-1 for the directtransformation of VA to acetaldehyde. {In a|Inside a|Within a} successive step, 1ClEtOH candecompose {directly|straight} to acetaldehyde and HCl {with a|having a|using a} {lower|reduce|reduced|decrease} barrier (29 kcal mol-1)than that of VA {to the|towards the|for the} {same|exact same|identical|very same|similar} {products|goods|items|merchandise|solutions} (55 kcal mol-1). Thecalculations {were|had been|have been} repeated {using|utilizing|making use of|employing|working with|applying} a single ancillary water molecule (W) in thecomplexes 2ClEtOH_W and 1ClEtOH_W.
