3. d) were based on the calculated values of density [3b] and heat of formation [3c]. Quantum mechanical calculations were used to theoretically optimize the geometry of the unknown molecules to estimate the density and the heat of formation. A hybrid method between Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Hartree-Fock approximation (HF) called B3LYP was used for that purpose. The basis set used was 6-31G(d)
4. b) The densities were calculated with the program MOLPACK (MOLecular PAcKing) from the university of Maryland, see for more details: J. R. Holden, Z. Du, H. L. Ammon, Prediction of Possible Crystal Structures for C-, H-, N-, O-, and F-Containing Organic Compounds, J. Comput. Chem. 1993, 14, 422;
5. c) The heat of formation in the gas phase was determined with the use of density functional theory with B3LYP parameterization. To calculate the solid state heat of formation it is necessary to subtract the sublimation enthalpy (determined by program MOLPACK) from that of gas phase. This approach is based on the scheme of Habibollahzadeh et al.: D. Habibollahzadeh, M. E. Grice, M. C. Concha, J. S. Murray, P. Politzer, Nonlocal Density Functional Calculation of Gas Phase Heats of Formation, J. Comput. Chem. 1995, 16, 654.

33. If the same chlorination reaction was carried out with only one equivalent of N-chlorosuccinimide, the resulting product was still the double substituted compound 5 accompanied with unreacted DADNE 1 (see the experimental section). This indicates that the second step of the chlorination is faster than the first one. See Ref [16] for more details.
