14. [1,3] which show that the zwitterion 1 adds to another molecule of acetylenic ester to form a second zwitterion, which then cyclizes to form 4H-quinolizine. Evidently the addition product from a transoid zwitterion would not undergo such a cyclization.

53. We have also optimised the structures of transition states TS1 and TS2 by using the basis set 6-31+G(d,p) consisting of the polarisation and diffused functions at the B3LYP level. These structures were very similar to the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level structures and the activation free energy values were nearly unchanged. Further, the TS1 geometry showed only minor structural changes when optimised with PCM at the B3LYP/6-301G(d) level. See the Supporting Information for more details.
