Experimentally,
the standard molar enthalpy of formation

°(cr) for 7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin (7M4MC) was
calculated by traditional linear regression, which was obtained by
combustion calorimetry. Similarly, the standard molar enthalpy of
sublimation was determined through the standard molar enthalpy of
fusion and by the standard molar enthalpy of vaporization, from differential
scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, respectively; lately using
these results, the standard molar enthalpy of formation in the gas
phase was calculated at 298.15 K, Δ

°(g). In addition ML was used to predict the standard
molar enthalpy of formation in the gas phase for the 7M4MC, constructing
an experimental data set containing three kinds of functional groups:
esters, coumarins, and aromatic compounds. The procedure was performed
by using multiple linear regression algorithms and stochastic gradient
descent with a
R
2
of 0.99. The obtained
models were used to compare those predicted values versus experimental
for coumarins, resulting in an average error rate of 9.0%. Likewise,
four homodesmic reactions were proposed and predicted with the multiple
linear regression algorithm of ML obtaining good results.
