33. +, one negative eigenvalue was found and shown to be a transition state for rotation of a methyl group). All quantum-mechanical calculations were performed in vacuo since the software does note allow for the important frequency analyses to verify located transition states when a solvent is included.

46. For all transition states 25A-H, elongation of either C2-C3 or C5-C6 by 0.05 Å followed by an energy minimization (trust radius 0.1) led to structures very similar to reactants 24A-H or rearranged intermediates 26A-H, respectively, and thus no carbocationic intermediates were verified.
