22. 10. We can not exclude the possibility that the reaction starts with one electron-transfer from n-orbital to oxo species and the interaction of the resulting SOMO and C-H σ orbital stabilizes the transion state for proton abstraction step. However, the present discussion of the dihedral angle-substrate reactivity relationship can also be successfully applied to the reaction via one electron-transfer process and the twist-boat conformers are considered to be more reactive than chair conformer, also in this reaction pathway.
