37. 0+ ZPE energies, 37.6 % of the reaction occurs through the syn reaction channel and 62.4% through the and reaction channel. 100% of the syn carbene intermediates give the R product, whereas only 34.6% of the anti carbene intermediates give the R product. This allows an estimate of 0.376×1.00+0.624×0.346 = 0.592 (ca. 59%) for the R product, and hence 18% ee.
