34. Conformational search was done at the AM1 level of theory, using SPARTAN; Wavefunction, Inc. All obtained conformers within a 5 kcal/ mol energy range were subsequently optimized with B3LYP/6-31+G(d) in Gaussian03.

37. We calculated the silyl analogue of E'-6-boat-TS with OTMS instead of OMe. The activation barrier of the rearrangement is 25.8 kcal/mol and the free energy of reaction is -32.9 kcal/mol, indicating that the OMe model is adequate.
