The decomposition pathways of chloromethanol have been studied by ab initio calculation. Equilibrimm and transition states have been optimized at the UMP2(full)/6-31G(d) level. The single point energies have been obtained at higher level of G3(MP2). Four transition states and eight reaction path ways have been revealed and the most favorable reaction to decomposition pathway is the 1,2-HCl elimination, which is consistent with the former scientist's conclusion.
