The heats of formation of compounds 1 (-88.48 kcal/mol), 2 (-87.68), and 3 (-78.86) were obtained with HyperChem (Release 7.03 for Windows, Hypercube, Inc., 1115 NW 4th Street, Gainesville, Florida 32 601, USA) using the PM3 forcefield. Optimized geometries were obtained using the Polak-Rebiere algorithm with the RMSG (root mean square gradient) set at 0.001 kcal/(Å mol) and used in single-point heat of formation calculations at the same RMSG. frequency analyses - no imaginary frequencies were found - confirmed that the optimized geometries of 1, 2, and 3 were minima on the potential energy surface.
