Abstract
⺠The reaction pathway of the formation of four quaternary pyridinium salts was investigated at the DFT level. ⺠Structures were optimized in the vacuum, single point PCM calculations were done in chloroform, ethanol and water. ⺠B3LYP/6-31+G** activation barrier increases when a hydrogen atom in the methyl group is replaced by a tetrahydrofuran ring. ⺠MPW1K/6-31+G** level activation barriers are slightly higher than those from B3LYP/6-31+G**.
