29. α distance was varied displayed different maxima, depending upon whether the scan was in the forward (decreasing distance) or reverse (increasing distance) direction. The full transition state optimizations for 2 and 4 were initiated with the geometry of the maximum from the forward scan. Selected scans of α- and β-addition to other compounds did not have this problem with hysteresis.
