27. (b) The G3 protocol in Gaussian 03 utilizes an optimized geometry refined at the MP2(full)/ 6-31G(d) level. The total energy is then refined using a series of single point calculations at higher levels of theory than includes, in general, a correction for diffuse functions [MP4/6-31+G(d)]; a correction for higher polarization functions on non-hydrogen atoms and polarization p-functions on hydrogen [MP4/6-31+G(2df,p)]; a correction for correlation effects beyond fourth-order perturbation theory [QCISD(T, E4T)/6-31G(d)]; a correction for larger basis set effects [MP2(full)/ G3large].

41. This controversy preceded the introduction of diastereotopic hydrogens (Mislow and Raban In Topics in Stereochemistry; 1967; Vol. 1, p 2), and it was difficult at that time to comprehend how the NMR of two "enantiomers" could differ. E-Cyclooctene exhibits a multiplet in its proton NMR spectrum centered upfield at ≈0.5 ppm as a consequence of two hydrogens of the C5-C6 fragment buried in the π-cloud of the transannular CdC. Interconversion of the twist with the chair conformer of (+)-E-cyclooctene, by twisting the C5-C6 fragment through the ring, exchanges the environment of these two hydrogens in and out of the π-cloud while maintaining the same absolute configuration of the CdC. A sterospecific synthesis of E-cyclooctene, with stereospecific deuteration at C5-C6, could have provided a conformational assignment of this diastereomeric alkene. Unfortunately, the untimely death of Professor Cope on June 4, 1966, prevented completion of these experiments.
