INDO Molecular orbital calculations of the energetically most favourable conformation of the molecular ions of phenyl acetate and its o ‐fluoro‐ and o ‐chloro‐analogs indicate bond formation between carbonyl oxygen and ortho halogen. For the molecular ions of phenetole and its o ‐fluoro and o ‐chloro‐analogs, no ring formation is observed. These results are in accord with the frequency factor changes found for the ortho substitution in these systems by halogens.
