Abstract
This work presents an investigation of the conformational behaviour of S-methyl chlorothioacetate (MCTA), S-methyl bromothioacetate (MBTA), and S-methyl iodothioacetate (MITA) through NMR and IR spectroscopies and through theoretical calculations that apply DFT/B3LYP theory. The DFT calculations showed two stable rotamers in the vapour phase, gauche and trans, for all the compounds. The coupling constants, 1 J CH , were obtained from NMR spectroscopy; these were used in the solvation theory to calculate the vapour-phase energy difference, the coupling constants for each rotamer, the solution energy difference, and the rotamer population for each solvent. These data showed that for MCTA, the most stable rotamer is trans; however, for MBTA and MITA, the most stable rotamer is gauche, both in the vapour phase and in solution. The changes in rotamer stability are because of the preference in stereo-electronic interactions; in the MCTA case the interaction is mainly electrostatic, while for MBTA and MITA, it is because of the interaction between n Br,I [Formula: see text]π * CO .Key words: S-methyl halothioacetates, conformational analysis, theoretical calculations, NMR, solvation theory.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
