Six product channels have been found in the association reaction of CN + CH 2 CO, and a variety of possible complexes and saddle points along the minimum energy reaction paths have been characterized at the UMP2(full)/6‐31G( d ) level. The dominant reaction channels are the production of CH 2 CN + CO and CH 2 NC + CO. The isomerization and dissociation reactions of the major products of CH 2 CN and CH 2 NC have been investigated using the G2MP2 level. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006
