Abstract
Correlation between activation energies of the aldol and ene reactions and the reduced masses of the raw materials was revealed by semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations. It was found that there is a singular point where the activation energy changes from decreasing to increasing or to nearly unchanging as the reduced mass increases, and the nonlinear change can be approximated by a quadratic curve. When the coefficient of determination of the correlation was greater than 0.8, the the reduced mass at the singular point was 40-120.
