34. The immediate fragmentation products (not observed) are imines. Use of THF accelerated the isomerization process (1 h: 23:24 = 1:1, 85% yield, 85% conversion).

38. calc and experiment is likely due in part to the degree of separation that exists between the transition states and the product ground states.
39. Transition states for chlorine and fluorine substituted piperidines were calculated and compared with the bromine substituted TS I (see Supporting Information). The enthalpy of the reaction for the series was-F 13.5 kcal/ mol,-Cl 9.2 kcal/mol, and-Br 8.3 kcal/mol, consistent with leaving group ability.
