    Abstract

    STO-3G calculations were performed on several 4-substituted 2-oxetanones (β-lactones), with the aim of rationalizing their very different chemical stabilities. A direct correlation was found between the relative thermal stabilities of the substituted β-lactones and the respective energies of their HOMO and LUMO.
