Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The addition reaction of monomeric lithium enolate (Z)-1, derived from propiophenone, to propene oxide 2, was examined to clarify the exact geometry of the transition state (TS) involved in this type of reaction. The eight possible TSs and the corresponding pathways, four leading to syn y-hydroxy ketone (y-HK) 3 and four leading to anti y-HK 4, were compared, using the B3LYP/6-31+G(d)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) theory level in vacuo and in the presence of the reaction solvent (toluene/hexane). In every case, the favored pathway involves a TS where the enolate C=C and the epoxide C-C are in a gauche relationship and where the Li+ is stabilized by some C-C and C-H σ bonds of epoxide 2.
