36. Fragmentation of ROCCl to short-lived ion pairs occurs in hydrocarbon solvents when R = (e.g) cyclopropylmethyl: Moss, R. A.; Sauers, R. R.; Zheng, F.; Fu, X.; Bally, T.; Maltsev, A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 8466.
37. The data quoted here are "averages" from photochemical and thermal generations of the carbene. The stereochemical data obtained from the enantiomeric carbene (R)-8 are comparable (Table 3).
38. 31b Activation energies were corrected for zero-point energy differences (ZPVE, unsealed) and thermal effects at 298.150 K. Vibrational analyses established the nature of all stationary points as either energy minima (no imaginary frequencies) or first-order saddle points (one imaginary frequency).
