26. Our work is juxtaposed to an expansion, by Karafiloglou and Kapsomenos,[16] of an MO wave function into a set of AO determinants for several excited states of all-trans-1,3,5-hexatriene. The objective in ref.[16] was the computation of weights for charge density waves. Moreover, rules for the appearance of such waves were given.

84. 3) and comparison with authentic nondeuterated parent compounds (Aldrich). This clean and regioselective monodcutcration ascertains that, under the given conditions, deuteron addition to C1 of 1,3-butadiene is irreversible, the 1-(deuteriomethyl)-allyl cation being quantitatively trapped by chloride ion; any formation of the methyl-allyl cation by deuteron addition to C2 followed by a hydride/deuteride shift would have resulted in partial deuteration of C3 in the products. The (E) configuration of the second product shows that deuteron adds exclusively to the s-trans conformer of butadiene and that no rotation about the 2,3 single bond occurs within the lifetime of the 1-methylallyl cation (J. Leitich, unpublished results).
