Abstract: ab initio, SCF+CIcalculations of the potential energy surfaces and barries in the various paths are presented for the chemical reactions of forming ketene after the a-bond rupture in cyclohexanone, using acetaldehyde as model.The possibilities of the various paths and thansition states of the important paths are discussed.
