For convenience, we have used in this work the E-configured vinyl radical 121 as energetic reference, because no configurational change at the C=C double bond is required in going from 121 to 141 via transition state 131.
30. Solvation effects, which were calculated using the PCM model as implemented in Gaussian03 did not result in significant changes of the barrier heights of any transition state 13 and 16, respectively.
