It is shown that a theoretical computation of the Dewar resonance energy of decamethyl [5] pericyclyne should give the same value for the homoaromaticity of this compound as that calculated earlier from heat of hydrogenation measurements. Both methods show this quantity to be small, but the accuracy of the methods appears insufficient for more exact agreement.
