28. b benefits from a mere 1.1 kcal/mol of stability. (NBO Version 3.1, Glendening, E. D.; Reed, A. E.; Carpenter, J. E.; Weinhold, F.).
29. In a previous Letter addressing regioselection in phosphine catalyzed allenoate additions we have reported that α-TS1 is 1.7 kcal/mol more stable then γ-TS1 in benzene (ε = 2.27). As it is of direct relevance the calculated 1.7 kcal/mol preference for α- versus γ-addition equates to a predicted product ratio of 95:5, which is a figure consistent with experiment (α- versus γ-addition 85:15), see Ref. 6a.
