These authors have argued that nonlinear Eyring plots of enantioselectivity as a function of the reciprocal of temperature for a number of asymmetric dihydroxylation reactions supports a two-step [2 + 2] mechanism, but not a [3 + 2] pathway for these reactions on the assumption that the latter would be a single-step reaction.
