The increased reactivity in polar solvents might be attributed to enhanced polarization of the TS relative to reactants; theoretical solvation studies are consistent with these observations (Jenson, C.; Liu, J.; Houk, K. N.; Jorgensen, W. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 12982); a systematic study of the effects of solvation and hydrogen bonding was also carried out by Gandolfi et al. at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level (ref 23)
