48. Inspection of molecular models suggests that only the sixth bromine atom should cause a particularly strong 1,3-interaction, in accord with the experimental evidence that a pentabromo derivative of 8 is formed predominantly with a large excess of bromine reagent; D.

64. a) For 1, the MM + force field suggests α = C(8b)-C(16d)-C(16b) = 113.8° and |β| < 0.2° (cf. exp. values in Table 1).
65. b) According to our experience, MM calculations systematically underestimate the flattening of the fenestrindan skeleton caused by bridgehead substitution (cf. ref. [24 b]).
