Ab initio calculation of torsion and inversion barriers of the amino group in aminopyrimidines.

Calculations of the barriers to internal rotation and inversion of the amino group in substituted pyrimidines have been performed. Torsion and inversion barriers were determined by several ab initio methods: HF, HF/MP2, MP4, CISD, QCISD, QCISD(T), CCSD, and CCSD(T). DFT method also employed.
