24. Originally only the 6-31G* basis set was employed with the DFT calculations, but on the suggestion of a referee we repeated all DFT optimizations and frequency calculations with the 6-311G** basis set. Only very minor changes in relative energies and structures were found on going to this larger basis set. Therefore the discussion is limited to the DFT calculations done with the 6-31G* basis set. The results obtained with the larger basis set may be found in Tables 2 and S1.

36. On the suggestion of a referee an extensive search for the forbidden "conrotatory" transition structure was carried out without success. Consequently it appears likely that the forbidden transition structure does not exist. We found a similar situation in the past when an exhaustive search for the forbidden suprafacial transition structure for the 1,5-hydrogen shift in the rearrangement of pentadiene failed (Hess, B. A., Jr.; Schaad, L. J.; Pancir, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1985, 107, 149).

41. As seen in Table 2 the QCISD(T) energy of 10 is obviously incorrect. This is perhaps not surprising given its very high Q1 value (0.2342).
