43. We computed IRC paths passing through 5 and 6 using 4,4-CAS and a basis set consisting of 6-31G* except for the single transferred H, for which we used [3s2p] obtained from the [3s2p1d] cc-pVTZ set for H with the d functions removed.

54. On the s < 0 side of path 3, the energy of the transition state at s = -1.8 (Figure 10) is 5.5 kcal/mol higher than s = 2.4 on path 1 with 2,2-CAS (6.1 kcal with CISD).
