68. Since there is no way to correlate the two different transition states of DMF with those of DMAAN, we have simply used the average of the values reported for the two DMF transition states. The differences in the thermodynamic corrections for methyl rotation and nitrogen inversion between the two DMF transition states are extremely small (less than 0.05 kcal/mol).

This study does not report rate constants (only energy barriers), and does not specify whether a transmission coefficient of 1.0 or 0.5 was used, and so the value reported for the barrier to DMAAN C-N bond rotation in carbon tetrachloride cannot reliably be compared to the present results in an exact manner.

83. The values given here (5.1 kcal/mol for vinylamine, 7.5 kcal/mol for DMAAN) are calculated enthalpies at 0 K.
84. It is worthy of note that the data point for acetonitrile in Figure 3 lies somewhat above the best fit line, indicating a higher barrier than in other solvents having comparable values for the Onsager dielectric function. This deviation possibly indicates that acetonitrile, like the aromatic and chlorinated solvents, yields somewhat stronger than expected interactions with polar solutes due to unusually great electronic polarizability. The "soft" π-system of acetonilrile could certainly account for such polarizability. A similar pattern was observed with DMA and DMF previously, where again acetonitrile yielded a somewhat stronger solvent effect than did acetone.
