A theoretical study of acid acetylation of dimethylamine from the analysis
of intermediate of the reaction was carried out. Geometries of all species
involved in the reaction were made and identified. All of the geometry
optimizations were performed by the method at the DFT with B3LYP level
of theory and was adopted the 6-31+G* basis set. Energies were calculated
using the MP2. The energy of activation for the reaction was 8.05 kcal/mol.
