TL;DR: Calculations are used to show that esterification of TMCD and TPA will reduce and subsequently dehydrate a dimethyl tin oxide catalyst, becoming ligands on the now four-coordinate complex, a key first step in understanding polyester synthesis and avoiding undesirable side reactions during production.

Monosaccharide Isomer Interconversions Become Significant at High Temperatures

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 123(1), 120–131.

By: C. McGill n & P. Westmoreland n

TL;DR: Quantum-chemical calculations show how low barriers to anomerization and shifting equilibria cause a significant presence of different monosaccharide isomers in high-temperature processes such as pyrolysis. (via Semantic Scholar)
