CH 362 - Experiment 1. Results from student runs on Computational Chemistry using HyperChem at the PM3 level as of Feb 19, 2009. Remember, report and use the lowest value of ΔHf for each ester from the HyperChem optimizations (most negative value), and use these lowest values to determine the strain.
| ΔH f H Ester (kJ/mol) | ΔH f P Ester (kJ/mol) | Strain (kJ/mol) |
| -461 | -341 | -120 |
