9. The activation barrier for the ring-closure step for the cis 5-membered bicyclic aziridine via TS2-BC (see Fig. 4) is ca. 4 kcal/mol less energetic than that for the acyclic intermediate IN2-2c. In addition, the restricted C2-C3 bond-rotation at the corresponding bicyclic intermediate favours the antiperiplanar arrangement of both carboxymethyl and chloride substituents.
