Notizen:
A conformational analysis of two model compounds of vitamin D was carried out by means of theoretical computations, Ab initio calculations were carried out using the standard 6-31G* basis set at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level of theory. In addition, the Møller-Plesset (MP2) correlation treatment was applied on the simplest model. Semiempirical calculations were also performed using the AM1 Hamiltonian. The results predict stable A-ring twist forms with energies in the order of 4-6 kcal/mol relative to the global minimum, significantly higher than those reported from molecular mechanics calculations. In addition, a folded conformation was found by the HF optimizations; however, its stability is predicted to be very poor. Comparison of the theoretical results with experimental data is discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 18: 1647-1655, 1997
