45. A more general correlation of hydrocarbon strain energy with increase in hydrogen bond acidity has been proposed: Alkorta, I.; Campillo, N.; Rozas, I.; Elguero, J. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 7759-7763.
46. A fair correlation (R=0.87) was found betweee the MP2 PA values of the six tertiary systems and the % s-character in the C-H bonds. A poorer correlation was found for B3LYP values and for secondary systems. Likewise, attempted correlations of PA's with % s-character of 3° anions were uniformly poor.

49. Calculated structural parameters and stabilization energies (± 1 kcal/mol) for the cyclopropylcarbinyl and 3-butenyl radicals in are in agreement with values computed for 298 K reported by Smith, D. M.; Nicolaides, A.; Golding, B. T.; Radom, L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 10223-10233.
50. The stabilization energy of the cyclopropylmethyl radical is estimated to be 10±2.3 kj/mol from measurements of the rotational barrier. Our calculated barrier is 11.9 kj/.mol. Walton, J. C. Mag. Res. Chem. 1987, 25, 998-1000.
