All [α]­D are measured at 25 °C, except for phenylethanes, where they were measured at 20 °C. Experimental values are compared with equilibrium simulated values (eq.) and with the vibrational corrected one (Vibr.) , Vibrational corrected OR values were computed accounting for thermal effect (298 K) and the terms related to the poorly described low-energy vibrations were removed.

g

Expected sign, numerical value not reported in the literature.

h

Numerical value different from zero due to slightly asymmetric optimized geometry.
