The two channels of the CH₃OH+Cl hydrogen abstraction reaction, leading to the final products CH₂OH+HCl (i) and CH₃O+HCl (ii), have been studied by performing ab initio MP2 calculations with the triplet split-valence polarization basis sets. For each of the two channels the following simple reaction path is predicted:reactants → transition state → intermediate → products. The previously reported complicated paths² calculated without using the IRC technique are criticized. Our calculations indicate that channel (i) is exothermic and has a negligible energy barrier while channel (ii) is endothermic and has a substantial energy barrier. These results imply that channel (i) is favorable, which is in line with experiment.
