105. This method was evaluated by calculation of the carbolithiation of β-methylstyrene with methyllithium and TMEDA (for details, see Supporting Information). Thereby, no changes in bond lengths by more than 1 pm occurred. The small difference in energy is caused by the change to the lower level of theory. However, these differences are averaged by comparison of analogous activation barriers within the same method.
106. The crystals undergo phase transformation at temperatures higher than -50°C.
