37. For representative examples we also used the unrestricted open-shell (U)DFT procedure in order to allow biradicaloid singlet transition states. However, biradicaloid singlet transition states were not observed. Corresponding triplet transition states were found to be higher in energy. Hence, a dipolar mechanism is assumed, which is in contrast to vinylcyclopropane/cyclopentene rearrangement: Houk, K. N.; Nendel, M.; Wiest, O.; Storer, J. W. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 10545-10546
